Got it. Below is what PCGS says about those flaws. Expected on these copper based older coins as I read it, if that's what it is. So I assume gradable, if not too large, but probably will take a hit grade wise. Hmmm OK...Thx
"A planchet flaw is a metal impurity or defect in the planchet. They are usually caused by a separation of part of the surface from the core due to impurities in the metal. While similar to a peeling lamination, they can be holdered as there is no risk of future damage. Small, unobtrusive planchet flaws are acceptable, but large, obvious, poorly placed, or distracting flaws are rejected. Context is also important. Planchet flaws on certain U.S. Colonial coins and early copper issues are expected; planchet flaws on Morgan silver dollars are not".
