Particularly the BUS of PLURIBUS and the portion of the of the roof that I zoomed in on.

    Probably a grease-filled die IMO. Usually adds no premium to a coin.

    When you look at your close up, notice the number of lines in the field. That is evidence of die polishing. When a die reaches the end of its life, mint workers will polish those dies to get a bit more production from the die. That act of polishing tends to remove some detail from the coin. Your coin was struck with a worn and polished die.
