The die polishing lines are indicative of a worn die that was being worked on to make it last linger. The flat and shelflike appearance on the...
Gorgeous coin! Love it!
What's not to like about that coin @ldhair ? Great coin, great condition, great price.
Under the ear may be some die gouges, nothing serious but a possible indication the die was worked on at some point.

@Sallent Very lovely coin. For some reason my eldest son (43) has a love affair for penguins. My ex was buying him penguin themed gifts for a few...

Part of it looks like heat damage. The blue stuff may be toning of exposed zinc? Still a good question. Maybe a combination of a struck through...

Stunning coins to these eyes.
