Here is something I just found in pocket change. A double sided Die Crack. If you turn the coin over it is in the same place and has the same shape on the opposite side of the coin. I did not know you could have the same die crack on two sides of the coin. I guess this means both dies were cracked at the same time in the same shape. The obverse crack is above the 7 in 1997 to the rim, or 5:00 and the reverse is about 1:30 to the head of the eagle.

Both cracks are in areas prone to cracking on the dies but they are not in the same place, close but not quite. Here is an overlay that shows how far off they are. Hope the overlay is clear enough and hope it helps.
