The die was over polished in order to remove a Die Clash. The mint employee does this to remove Die Clashes, and to extend the life of the die. https://www.error-ref.com/thinning-...gn-elements/ https://www.error-ref.com/die_clash/

Someone should probably check Jim Bob's work before the dies are put back in service.

a bit too much polishing I would have to say.
Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on
