I notice some spalling of the surface above the head.
That, to me, indicates internal silver crystallization.
If that is the case, this piece must be handled with care, because it could possibly fall apart, quite easily.

Awesome find - yeah, definitely a fully crystallised piece. Take care! I've not seen the star in wreath one comeup on the bay before...
