I'm seeing a great deal of post mint damage. Your photos are so out of focus, it's difficult to see everything that might be going on with your CENT. Where exactly are you seeing die cracks? Better photos would definitely help us to help you.   to the CCF! ça va bien aller

pics are over magnified, too large and distorted, which makes for a difficult determination

 with above, about the quality of the pictures. Your coin is just a very damaged coin though.

As a general rule: if you see a coin that has some obvious damage and corrosion on it, assume everything unusual about that coin is because of that damage. The probability of a rare and interesting error coin being made, and then suffering from heavy circulation and resultant post-mint damage so that "mint error" and "damage" are all mixed up together across the surface of the coin, is really quite low. Quote:
...but upon close inspection I see movement of parts of letters, die cracks (I believe)... Occams Razor says that, rather than multiple odd mint-error-like things happening to this coin all at once, a single simpler explanation is much more likely to be the explanation. That simple explanation in this instance is "roadkill damage". More specifically, it's "old" roadkill damage; the coin has repatinated (possibly by burial) since the damage occurred, and apparently then seen some additional circulation, causing the brown patina to wear away from the high points. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I concur that there's a lot of post-mint damage ( PMD) here. I'd still keep it, though; if anything, it's still copper! |

Mush post strike-damage of a road rash-like nature. Agree with Sap's break-down.
