Those two '97s look like they may be from the same die and the '98 is similar (prime die stress area?).

Pretty cool.

Yeah those two 97s do look like the same die pair. You can see the exact same slight bend in the crack in the middle of the fields.

Yeah, I have found that die crack to be quite common on the 1997-P.
I have found numerous examples of it in all three stages and have sold them by the roll on the Bay. Nearly identical die cracks can also be found in early die states on the 1996-P & 1998-P, but are not as common as the 1997-P.

Nonetheless, it is a very nice naked eye visible die variety that easily catches your eye on first glance.
