Those are reflections, they are flecks of abnormally shiny metal in the planchet. We all struggle getting the light right so they don't look like dark marks on the surface. If you added a couple of angled shots and messed with the light, you might be able to show them.
The obverse is fantastic, I see halo and cartwheel luster galore. I think the right field "distractions" are not distractions but shiny metal flecks. Reverse strike is weak but slightly above average. The AM area is distracting. I think this coin has a ton of luster and eye appeal in hand.
