This is called a Die Crack with a Die Chip. This is a very common area to get Die Cracks and Die Chips. This is the stress (weak) point of the die. It is not worth getting graded by a TPG, as it would cause more than what the coin is worth. These don't carry a premium over face value, because it's very common for that area to crack and Chip.
If you are grading them as high grades the graders don't reduce for MD or die chips. As far as adding value, no premium, as they are very common on that area.
