These are not air bubbles. Not every coin is cast. These are likely products of silver corrosion, such as horn silver. Possibly some of them are where the surface layer of silver has been corroded away, leaving a discoloured pitted surface.

You aren't familiar with die rust, you're not familiar with corrosion, you're not familiar with dust on coins, you're not familiar with how lighting interacts with a coin's surface producing different shadows or specular highlights, so what are you familiar with? Some coins you "analyse" may indeed be fake but not for the reasons you state. Until you actually know what you are doing, please refrain from posting fakes because you are condemning some perfectly good coins for no reason.
