The close-up pics show these spots as 3-dimensional [rising away from the surface of the coin]. The only carbon spots I have come across have had a center-area and seem to grow out and away from that area but stay relatively flat. This seems different like a cancerous mole on the skin.
Possibly some spots are just stains from (say) fingerprints while the thick mounds are carbon spots? Or something else?
