Hello and Welcome! I see common "Die Chips".
Die chip — Die chips are small, isolated chunks of metal that break away from the die, usually in the middle of the coin away from the rim. A die chip on a coin appears as a raised mound of metal, and these die chips can range in size from very small to quite large. Most die chips are less than 1 millimeter in size.

Agreed so it has nothing to do with the BIE in The 55s.. only cause I found 3 BIE in this roll. And someone on another site said that may be part of the BIE formation. But none that have been reported looks like so I figured second opinion
