The surface of the 4 looks shaved and flattened but how does that explain the missing left and bottom areas? The fields around those areas seem to show die wear lines which you wouldn't expect with damage or grease fills.

Looks like damage to the 4 to me. There is die flow lines present. Might just be coincidental.

Hard to say sometimes what happens to a coin after it leaves the mint.
If it is not a Grease Filled Die then it is damage
of some sort.

I agree with PMD as well, the 4 in the date already has a short leg to begin with, it wont take much of a contact to push it off.

the 4 is damaged. the horizontal bar at the right end looks smashed from a hit. Just to the left of the vertical bar looks like an old scrape. and the bottom of hte vertical could be from more damage, or a tiny bit of grease at the end.

That is quite odd that the flow lines go right through the area in question. There are some odd lines coming out of the center of the 4 too.
