I don't think that this coin is like yours,the copper can be pull off there a space between the end of the copper. Its like the copper cover pulled away with the die to me |

Yes, you're certainly right amac44. It does beg to be pulled off of his coin, but I didn't want to suggest that yet!

This is a pair of die crack that are the normal to me. The 1997 looks to be movable with a little poking   |

you wont find die cracks on coppercoins.com Chuck has no interest in them and don't post them. if the metal moves on your coin it is just a strike through that has not fallen off yet. you MAY have a premium in it if you find the right buyer.
good luck
Gary

Amac - Your coin is a die crack, is common as such, and isn't worth a premium. For that reason, you didn't find one "listed" anywhere. Die cracks are a normal part of die wear.

It is a die crack, not a lamination. It will not pick or peel off. It's metal from the planchet that struck up into a crack on the die. It's a part of the coin, not something attached to it.
