The nicks / blemishes are because these dice are in fact, injection molded, and that's where they connect to the frame. All molded dice have these, the difference with typical cheap dice is that they are then dipped entirely in paint, and then run through a rock polisher to remove the undesired paint, round corners and deal with the blemish. This polishing process leads to unevenly worn dice that do not roll true.<br /><br />These dice have not been polished. The slight blemish does not affect how they roll, or at least it doesn't affect them anywhere near as much as the polishing affects other brands of dice. These are the most accurate and true rolling dice short of machined dice (think of the classic red casino dice, those are machined down from a larger piece of material instead of molded, which is why they are so expensive).<br /><br />The paint rubbing off is a different issue though and is too bad. I've owned a set (purchased from my FLGS, not here) and some of the them have the paint disappearing and others don't.
