It could mean it was been circulated longer. Circulation tends to flatten flatten/widen/reduce the tops of the devices. The devices are designed to be tapered so that they will release after the strike.
When the die is polished, the fields maybe reduced in size, but that will make the devices smaller. But the coin when they wear down flatten the devices removing the tops of the devices off the coin. Another thing that reduces the devices is grease in the dies. The devices with look wider, but shorter in height.
This prevention of a normal device can take on different looks. But because this happens often, the is no premium for this.
But another thing that can enlarge devices is hub doubling. The doubling looks like two sets of devices on the same device:
These are very collectable. They are called doubled dies as the doubling on the die. Each coin struck with that die will show the exact same doubling. They show spread between the hub process on the die. Note the centers of the devices. The spread is causing to make the devices larger. Opposite Machine Doubling which is actually a reduction of the devices.
This is caused by the machine after a normal strike that alters the devices after the strike. So the edges are affected on these. These are also common. Caused by machine damage to the devices. But because this is a machine issue, it can also happen on doubled dies as well.
So I hope I've covered you question. If not, ask another question.
