Looks like a Indian Head, on the the other side looks to be feathers, I don't know lol, it caught my attention when I was examining my loose change, hope this images helps out.. Thanks for all your help much appreciated!! Sorry it took so long to reply too!!

I'm a novice collector and by no means an expert, but I believe what you are seeing is face Pareidolia. Which pretty much means that you can see a face in the staining and patina. Like seeing objects in clouds or random patterns.

Slight Grease Fill in the deeper devices weakening the strength of the strike.
