Dies are polished in order to prolong their life/usefulness. Sometimes grease/polish fills devices on the die and so when striking coins the details come out partial or missing. This is a common thing that happens and rarely adds any value unless it takes out a lot more of the details.

I agree with Earl42 on this. Unless it effects a large area of the coin (like whole words or entire dates just possible examples (don't take as Gospel, as all are not created equal)) it will not be collectable.

Not bad for showing what you were looking at. Less glare may help some though.
