My father ran a small business and kept anything he thought was abnormal. I've been trying to make sense of them. Its very overwhelming. Does this mean anything lol?

To CCF! Just seeing circulation wear and flattening on the date. I believe it's just circulation wear making the date look thick.

Yes, circulation flattening, coupled (likely) with a degree of Die Deterioration.
