Got this one in a lot. Looks like the Queen was ready for Covid. Do you think the metal flake over the Queen nose and mouth are initially lamination or came after strike?
It appears as if a detached stray lamination piece from a previous strike has been struck into the Queen's face. There is raised metal in the field in front of the Queen's face. If that is the case, unusual and curious.
I think that, in hand, you can match the built-up, raised pieces of that mess directly into the gouges/scrapes that have dug in to the cent . Definitely PMD and maybe done with a little heat as well (look at the discoloration).
