Sometimes the dies are polished and if one is damaged they will replace the bad one. But it's a die clash on a worn/polished a few times die. Note the thinnest of the 8 & 9 column tops. It gone through several clashes during it's life.
It is a die clash. check the OBV to see if there are any "prison bars". on Abe. that strong on the REV will most likely leave some on the OBV, as well. Like coop says, it has been "around the horn", a few times. Dick
