That's not better. How about 576X576 pixels?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Hard to say with that gouge there, but might have just been weakly struck to begin with, or the damage just obliterated it.

I'm thinking that it is a big circulation hit, but I'm not seeing any relocated metal, or corresponding damage to the reverse side. It could be a struck through, But I 'think' that I can see the outline of the ear in the depression - which would rule out a struck through.

I just wish the image was much better and not so pixelated.

You have to take a new picture, not just resize the tiny one. That's why it is so pixelated.

I imagine you have 3 choices:

1.) Circulation wear

2.) Die wear

3.) Light strike

Still hard to accurately what is going on, the lighting glare may be obscuring some details.
