I do think those pocks and long gouges are related to the secondary strike, and are probably due to pressure differentials from the features of the original strike.
Be interesting to see what else we think

It is amazing how this circulated so much before it was taken out of circulation.

The second strike must have been somewhat light as the double image is not as strong as the initial strike

I'm thinking the opposite. The initial strike as well as the second was normal. The second strike wiped out most of the first strike while having or trying to relocate material from the first strike. Thus left behind some divots in the process, especially in and around the deeper devices. Thanks, Doug.

PS: Can you verify the weight?

, and partly explains how this nickel weighs ~4.89-4.9 grams on my scale, so slightly underweight but reasoned by the above reason...

I can see your reasoning being logical, Doug, as that is another explanation that I like

A very nice in-collar double strike with rotation of the coin between strikes. Its appearance is typical for the type.

Fantastic double strike! I think the circulation wear helps create a better outline with these errors.

Very nice.
Congrats.
I wonder if the missing metal below MONT is a lamination issue?
