Sharp eye to notice this!

It looks as if the edges around some letters on the die broke of, so that the base of the letters filled up with metal. Certainly a manufacturing error, but not sure which type. Damaged dies?

Thank you!
I think for "5" number, "B" and "A" letters is double die, but for "N" letter is some excess of metal. Is just my non-pro opinion :)

It looks like a double die or a damaged die. Interesting, either way!
