First off, I'm not good with clad or silver. It certainly seems to have potential. Nice job with the images.

It was definitely struck by older dies (LDS), but that shouldn't cause the separation we see, unless it is MD.
There also seems to be some separation on the feathers next to the leg closest to the bust. I'm not seeing any notching but it is hard for me to tell if there is any thickness to the devices. others will be along to offer more experienced insight.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I'm thinking this is Machine Doubling. It looks like the reduction not the enlarging that a DDR would show:
