We'll be close the letters that look like they're three dimensional sometimes.

I have seen this on a few coins myself...have pondered the same question, don't think it's any of what has been mentioned above but maybe a dirty die ( a small bit of "gunk"/dirty grease inside the devices causing that coned effect)...JMO
