Surface Scale???

As seen in this Stack's description
Description


1807 O-111b. Rarity-5. Bearded Goddess. Choice Extremely Fine-45,

light surface scale. Medium gray toning on both sides. "Bearded" feature very bold, due to a die crack. Some marks will be seen upon examination. An extremely popular variety, one encountered in lower grades when seen at all.

What is "surface scale?" I hav e never heard of this problem before. What causes it? Is it repairable?
