Large Die Proof

The image at left is the subject of the large die proof pictured at bottom. The proof is printed on india, die sunk on card. The hair-like mark above "OF" is a natural india-paper inclusion.

Note the green dots in the numeral '6'. Could these marks have been caused by a flaw in the die?
