I don't recall the term for when the die piece sinks or shifts, but there appears to be an offset at the rim & denticles where that chunk of the die no longer aligns. Can you get an edge view? I poked around Heritage etc a few days ago but didn't find a similar crack.
Edit: Huh, it's almost the same as RCD-2c-1864-08R here
http://cuds-on-coins.com/two-cent-r...s-1864-1873/ except that one is 1864. Crazy how the die broke in almost exactly the same way. The denticles appear to be offset too.
