    That's a good example of die clashing. The dies struck one another without a planchet between them, and the obverse die received an inverted impression of the E in DIME. You can see the inverted outline of the Liberty figure on the reverse, too. It's fairly common, especially on small coins, as small planchets often experienced mis-feeds into the press.

    If you're willing to pay the additional $18 fee for variety attribution, your 1884 has a repunched date variety recognized by NGC. Be sure to click the PF tab at upper right to see the proof varieties:

    All will be improved by removing superficial contamination (haze). The "grade" is what it is.

    IMO the '84 and the '98 could have eye appeal improved (if they will conserve). But you could lose a grade if a couple hairlines are revealed when the haze is removed.

    Those do appear to be good candidates for NCS conservation.
