Cracked with a chip. Seem to be an area that the shield cents have this often.

Nice find. I've been searching for a cracked shield, but haven't ran across any yet.

Just the word TRUST in that area. But seems to be a weak area of the design.

It is incuse with a punch in it? A crack is in relief on the coin, like the other parts.

OK, I see now what you are saying, maybe my poor photography skills, maybe not. I will look closer. Thank You CoinMasters!

Die crack is a crack in the die, raised now on a coin:   A die chip is when a portion of the die breaks away from the cracked area. (now leaving a higher raised event on the coins struck by it.
