The die chip on the "PL" on PLURIBUS makes me think Die Deterioration. Devices larger on the left side and to the right on the other side. Typical for a deteriorated die.
Are you talking about the Die Deterioration or the machine damage on the left side of the torch. (note the devices on the west side of the coin, even the olive branch is affected)
