Just need some opinions on this one please. Looks like there is another torch on the reverse next to the original one. There is also what could either be leaf print or just extra metal under the word America on the reverse.

It looks like the torch is reflected strongly to the left and some flame to the right as well.

The die has a lot of erosion going on with it. Past clashes may have been removed and part of the die may be crumbling away in different areas. Here is an overlay:

Seems like some clashes were fully removed from previous cleaning and they just got worse on the next few clashes. Keeper? I'm thinking die wear/abrasion/deterioration. So your guess is as good as mine on this one. I would save it for now. Probably won't get much of a premium for it. But to find out later it was something keeps you from having to kick yourself later. It only cost a dime.
