The 1974 die had a similar issue but a lot stronger:


The fields were reduced to remove clash lines and the semi mid devices were reduced leaving the design suffering. This also Happed on a 1968 Die that was so over polished that the 1 was almost missing:

The isolated field location almost removed the '1'.
The 1922 dies were also over worked and removed the mint mark on some and others it weakened. But they were not give more dies that year and were expected to use them till they could no more.
The 1937-D Over polished dies on the Buffalo die were so over polished, that one die was missing a leg and another one half a leg missing.
The 1969 missing 'FG' on the reverses were also over polished to much.
The
Kennedy halves with the missing 'FG' were also another example of over polishings. Some call them a missing item, but they were there on the fresh dies, but polished away.
To me, give me an EDS die and I'm a lot happier. With a variety on the EDS die states makes me even happier. Forget the rejects and keep the good stuff.
But that is just me.
