I thought I could see a six and possibly another number or letter on the torch . I. Sure it's nothing but I figured I'd get some opinions just for good measure.

It is a classic Mint striking issue called Pareidolia. While not rare, it is exciting to find.
Actually it's called "Picteals"... Google it
I agree that it "looks" like something, but it seems to me that if it were a dropped letter the surface still would have picked up the design from the die.
Dude, you got some Eagle eyes!!!
This time, I'm going with the OP. Very interesting. Have it checked out. First, can you post a photo in two orientations using fluorescent light?
Lol only cuz I is a 16× loop
I'd have to get a fluorescent light but when I do I shall take some in that lighting !
I sent Mike Diamond an email with some pictures. Hopefully he thinks it's as interesting as I do. Could be a genuine mint error but there is always the possibility of it be tampered with or pmd. Either way it's different. And I like different
Yes I think it should have too but I'm just not sure lol .
I found out picteals is a made up name lol
it almost looks like the full bands ate too much and now it is a full belly
I do see what you are questioning... looks like a '6'..... However, IMO, it is likely PMD..... JMO... (is that enough acronyms?)....
