I do agree that this is the weirdest "Spiked Head" Die Crack ever. Never seen one like this before.  Errers and Varietys.

Those are stress cracks, well all die cracks are the result of stresses and weakers points within the metal. This is resultant from attrition. Notice on your expanded set of pix, the beginning of the crack was that "J" shaped micro edge chip, that's the attrition and weak spot. Just so happens spider cracks like this one are not very deep, mostly surface areas and may even be removed upon next TouchUp.

If you have two exactly the same, then it would have to be a die crack. If these two images are of the same coin, then the jury is still out.

So it is a die issue, rather than something on the coin. The second coin on the reverse, there are some serious finger prints on them.
