I feel die polishing is affecting some areas. Note the PG (Should be a FS) was altered. Note the letters on Monticello is also weakened. Also the dome is showing polishing lines. The thinned tail on the 9? But the die polishing may have altered that area as well. 'N' the same the die polishing was not exactly flaw and the tip of the polisher fell into that area of the device. Possible Feeder Finger Damage on the 'E'? Probably a reason they rescued this die. Clash or FFD? But this proof die was altered.

And the nickel isn't the only one with issues. Others as well.
