    Correct.. It's a Die Deterioration issue.
    Not a Dropped Letter.

    That’s caused by a worn die. Looks like the steps are toning.

    I don't see anything on the OP coin that looks like the examples in the reference. There are full faint images of the letters below the design lettering. And there are no "trails" above the letters. What am I missing here?

    Nothing. Those faint images are from a worn die.
