They are not copper dots, they are holes in the coils.  Gibson had them on the original PAF's and all pickups which are true to the look of a PAF have them.  You can see the wire from the coil through them, but other than that, I have no idea what the purpose was.

did they send you an email when they dispatched the pickups?  I ordered a stormy monday on tues night so it would only have been processed yesterday, so I'm guessing if the times are about the same it'll be dispatched either tomorrow or monday?

^ I ordered a set of Mules on Feb 14th, and they showed up on the 20th, so they should be with you either fairly shortly I'd guess.

Pics of the pickups installed in my Ibanez RG505 are in the 'BKP's in YOUR guitar' thread.
