The mint techs were trying to remove a deep clash and buffed the face of the down down, details are shallow (reverse image) see where the 3-d effect usually seen is gone? Tht is the closest to the die face and goes away first
Also, notice the grease-filled/over-polished on EPU and States. This is a good indication that there was a very heavy die clash...this is where the bottom of the bust would hit.
