Obverse side it looks slightly concave with a mar below Liberty. Reverse side, there's a crack or ridge from upper right of memorial to the letter I in America. Any suggestions as to what these are?

I'm not seeing a crack but maybe a worn die.

Sorry, the photo doesn't really bring it out but with a jewelers loupe it is quite obvious.

Obverse is concave looking because of a worn die issue.
Below LIBERTY is a linear trail gas bubble.
Reverse by I is a die crack,common area for one.

good find FShaw. Always fun to find a crack on a coin, no matter how common.
