Are you sure they are rubbed off, or might they just be from the pre-minifig
era? Some of the town sets that came out just before the minifig revolution
used the same extra-wide 1x1 round bricks that minifigs use for heads, but
without any face painted on them. These are somewhat rare and may be valuable
to some collectors. If the stud on top is solid, there's a chance that this is
what these heads are. If it is hollow though, you are probably right that they
are just rubbed off. Of course, solid-stud minifig heads existed for several
years, so it is still possible that they are just faces that are rubbed off...
However, I've never had that happen to any of my minifigs, so it seems
unlikely to me.
