The letters in America appear to be suffering from an over polished die issue (note how thin the letters are on top) and Die Deterioration.

Okay So thats Over Polished and I did read that maybe 20 times but hard to find truly great examples with explanations. And I see a slight Die Deterioration as well

Now Can Over Polished be a DD? Or is that just considered a Die Deterioration
