Die cracks are common the reverse near the 4 corners of the building. The obverse one looks like a Retained Cud. Note the third image on the rim area at 6:00. I've not seen many in that area before. Not a MAD. The rim area on the date side looks like a fin that was flattened. I feel these find are caused by Machine Doubling of when the die is striking/post striking the coin. Being loose, I could see it being sloppy and cause these rim issues. With the fin flattened, there is mild premium for the Retained Cud on this coin. But a good educational coin to show to a new collector to educate them a bit more. There are a striking errors, (fin) and die events that happen to dies as the age. (cracks, Retained Cud) A lot of subjects on just one coin.

I try to help you see, what I see on your coin. Then next time, you will see it first and remember what it is.
