Yesterday, while going through a box of pennies, I confirmed it. Here's that coin's younger brother with the same clash marks on the obverse and the die chip fully formed.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 6:30 pm That is neat you found a pair of coins so close together that shows the die cracks with the progression of the Die Deterioration. This one is more fully-formed and would have been created after the other one, so yes that would make this one the younger "brother". (I think it was Coop that shared some coins before showing the progression of severe Die Deterioration in the form of an interior die break.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
