Correct. Note the flattening on those areas, are showing a removal of the contour of the normal devices. Note on the reverse how flat the fields area and the reduction of the devices are smaller than normal. (surface of the fields are dull) Looks like this may have had a sever polishing on the reverse die from either a clash or a Feeder Finger Event in the past. Now the die was rescued to be put back into work. The Brow on the obverse looks like there may have been a minor FFD issue on those dies recently on these dies.

Feeder Finger Damage. The coin is ejected after the strike by the Feeder Fingers.
Damaged Feeder Fingers from a strike out of time:

When the Fingers get damaged by being struck, then it will scratch the die face and alter one or both sides of the die.

When the die is damaged, then the coins struck with that die, will show Feeder Finger Damage on the coins.
Thus to rescue the dies, the Feeder Finger Damage is polished off the die. This weakens the design on the dies and sometimes makes a lot of loss from this polishing.

Thus the over polishing is the cause of missing sub level devices, and many other devices that were polished off of the coins. (Besides the polishing for the die clashes) The FFD is the cause for the deepest die polishing.

CoopHome: What is Feeder Finger Damage? the mint rescue to remove transferred damage from clash marks and Feeder Finger Damage. weakens some devices on the dies and shows on the coins that are struck with these dies
