Yes, the digit is growing larger. To be precise, the original digit is being replaced by a larger facsimilie. I've written two articles on these grease-struck 1995 cents. Some coins show a partial replacement of the original digit and others a full replacement. The mechanism responsible is obscure, although I've made a few feeble guesses.
