Those are nice die breaks on the first three images. Common, but getting stronger with each 1,000 strikes. The forth image I can't tell what is going on with it. It looks a little wider the the rest of the statue. First time I've seen that? Is there a Bar on the left side of the statue and the column nest to column # 6?

The first group of coins shows the results of breaks in the die. Die cracks and die chips are the categories that they fall into.

The one of the statue inside the Lincoln memorial is intriguing. I have one here with the same type of thing and am looking into the possibility that it may be a form of die doubling. The jury is out until I get a chance to get a closer look at the coin. It has potential though, It looks like the one I have here and I need to determine if it is Mechanical Doubling or die doubling. It is in an area of the coin where it is possible.

I hope this helps.
Bill
