Looks to me like someone smacked another coin against it (obverse on obverse) with a hammer in the upper left of the coin. If it were a die clash then there would be evidence of the reverse side and I don't see any. It's a mirror image of the top front of the crown and her hair.

Looks like it was struck on a brockage? The image underneath is the top of the queen's head backwards. If someone smashed two of them together, there would be far worse damage.

I would not say hammer job because the damage would be uniform. You can see them impression of the queen head and jewels left by another coin but maybe the was done before the proper strike. This would explain why there looks to be no damage to the final strike of the coin. The queens bust looks very clean so it would be near impossible to localize a strike with a hammer job.
My guess is double struck with another coin in the chamber and then struck properly.

The damage looks uniform, 2 sets of beads going into one nearly half way around the coin is uniform. Get 2 coins and a hammer and try to replicate it. Pseudobrockage (false brockage) (ES, Nov/Dec 1999) (CW 8/23/10) Fused coins Rolled and Squeezed Accidentally Resized Other Folded or Crushed. Zinc deterioration on copper plated Lincoln cents just an opinion  |

Looks legit to me. Definitely not a hammer job. Looks like its a double struck/brockage?
