Counter Clash? Of what? To me it looks like 2 simple Die Scrapes. I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.error-ref.com/die-scrapes/
It looks like the torch bands to the right of the actual bands. if not, what would cause these raised bands in the field?
I agree these are die scrapes/damage though I haven't noted feeder finger damage that was perpendicular to the design before. Excellent link
