You can see sliding marks in the middle of the N in IN going torward the rim but the tops of the letters are incuse. Does it have something to do with the Ridge Ring?

That's caused by Die Deterioration. It's known as Design-Devouring Die Wear. https://www.error-ref.com/design-de...ng-die-wear/

I'm talking about the indents. That indented square in the G is particularly noticable.

My guess is the indents are caused by the die wearing out.

Very interesting. I do believe it is Die Deterioration.

Yes, Die Deterioration is in play. Very interesting features. Would be fun to examine in hand.
