Hi Stratocaster,
Yes, there is a prominent crack at that location. I do see a very slight loss of detail due to pocket wear, but in-hand I can still see all the vertical lines on the reverse crown. I think I've probably gotten enough improvement at this point and will return the coin to a holder, since I really don't want to lose much more detail.
I haven't a clue about the inscriptions. This coin weighs about 20.3 grams and has an edge inscription which includes the term "83 1/3" which I believe means it the silver content is 83.3%. That puts the total silver content well below a US silver dollar which is around 26.7 grams of 90% silver. The value relative to a dollar must be only about 70¢ based on silver content.
Thanks for the comment!
