  Probably just an overpolished die. Notice how the top serif on the 1 is diminished as well.

  Interesting observation but I too would vote die polishing. I do happen to have a 1957 PR 5c...
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The MAX size can be seen here, mine does not seem to be the one that is smaller: MAX

  They look the same to me.

  The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

  Definitely different, and die polishing would seem the logical answer...Cheers, RickO
