I have no idea what these speckled tomatoes are, does anyone here know?

Cosmic eclipse does have speckles like that, but otherwise they don't look like what you have (CE is antho). So a tomato can have silver speckles. Or maybe it's bugs. What varieties did you plant?

The speckles are the result of bugs piercing the skin. If you feel them with your finger you will see that the speckled patch is not smooth like the rest of the skin on the fruit. It is a scab not pigment that is causing this.
