While sorting out coins I’ve had put aside for a while, I noticed a 2008 $2 with what I guess is die fill on the reverse, in particular the bottom of the Elder’s beard which is missing some detail. I checked some other 2008’s I had and found I had 3 of these, with another 5 coins with only part missing. Images of the 3 worse affected coins follow with explanations.
Close up of the affected area:

Same area of the above coin with a 2009 for comparison:

Do you agree it's most likely die fill?
I agree with that.
You can see that it gets progressivly worse from your images.
