No. You are looking at damage that was done to this coin in circulation. First of all, the minted would not use a die that was heavily damaged. Second, if the die had pits for some reason, you wouldn't have depressions on the coin you would have raised blobs because metal flows into the gaps in the die. But that's not what's going on here.
