Interesting Doubling on 2024 Flowing hair gold coin

I'm not sure if anyone else took a good, close-up look at their new 2024 FH gold coins, but I have! When I first received it I noticed a doubling or shifted look on the date in several places. The "etching" on the numerals has shifted onto the planchet in several places. Mechanical doubling I suppose but interesting that a laser etched die would end up with this look. Worthless I am sure but interesting it happens on such a high tech process new piece. It is most noticeable on the 4. I took some close-ups with arrows showing where the shifting is seen:

some of them aren't struck so well. check this one out:
i don't know how many times they strike these, but what i have noticed is that the final strike seems to be the one that frosts the devices and this frost doesn't quite match up with the devices as evident in your photos of the 4 in the date. here you can see the same thing on the stars:
It’s not that the final strike imparts the frost as that is a texture on the die, it’s that any previous strikes will have their textures hammered out by latter strikes

Instead of striking 17,000 coins, they must have got confused and struck the 10,000 coins 17,000 times (this is meant as a joke).
NJ wants to know what the definition of “joke” is. He’s trying to decide whether to debate your claim or not.
that is some issue with the frosting and i can't say how it happens
i've seen it on a few other issues
