There is a distinct raised curve that runs through the entire motto all the way to "Liberty". On the end closest to liberty, there seems to be a die crack on top of this raised area. I was hoping someone would be able to let me know what was going on here! Thanks!

Rookie here thinks the raised curve is caused by Die Deterioration. Thus causing the parameter to rise around the rim.

Could be wrong but, looks like the mentioned "die crack" could be split plating. If it is the next phase for this coin will be zinc rot.

Wait for others to verify as I may be wrong in my assessment. Thanks, Doug.

It is Die Deterioration. Happened a lot on the 80's Zincolns.
