There are a couple of things that can make the devices look wider than normal On "STATES" you see with devices looking wider. It could be coin wrapper damage or a slight amount of great in the die. The devices are tapered to allow release after the strike. When a small amound of great is in the deeper part of the die, the devices look wider, but the narrow top of the device was blocked because of that grease. Here is an illustration:
This is common and we see this a lot on the cent reverses on the USA area. Either way it is a common event and not very valuable. Sorry
