What would cause the circular rotation on the obverse?

And 2nd, could the raised metal in the light rays on the reverse be a die crack?

Thanks

That is damage caused by a coin counter/wrapper machine or a vending machine.

The circular damage seen on the obverse was caused by the wrapping machine, that was an end coin.
The reverse does look like a die crack but in an odd position, can't tell for sure from the pic's glare.
