A coupla things. Please post an image of the entire reverse. Looking at the pieces is interesting but a view of the whole reverse might help...
That is correct. The hubs that made the dies were worn so the lettering was mushy and closer to the rim to begin with, than let's say coins...
Above the E in WE is damage. Look above your arrow, there are nicks on the rim. The coin took a "hit" as we say and the metal moved. The coin...
They aren't plating bubbles. They are characteristics of that particular die. They appear to be parts of the beard that remained after the die...
no, it's what I said and there is no evidence of a CUD whatsoever. A CUD is a die break that involves the rim where a part of the die shank...
