1964 (P) Dime with low relief on obverse

[jcorral]

I have a few 1964 p dimes. I noticed that the relief on the lower left side of the obverse is variable. There are some that are flatter compared to others. Haven't been able to find any info specifically describing what I'm seeing. The photo I've attached has the two coins I have with the most extreme difference. Looking at the "IN GOD WE TRUST" text, the one on the left is better defined than the one on the right. The one on the right the text near the edge is flattened and also closer to the edge. Wondering what causes this and if it's significant variation? At them moment I'm wondering if they are significant enough to individually catalogue or just added them to a bulk tube of silver 1964 dimes?

Thank you for your time.

In my opinion, both of these probably suffer from the working die having struck so many coins. At the beginning of a working dies life, its all new, shiny and sharp. Over time these working dies get a little worn down, since its basically a metal vs metal battle when it comes down to it. Basically a worn die struck these coins. It might have had a minor amount of grease and metal chips in the recesses of In God We Trust, but i dont see anything wrong with either coin.
