The bending of the die when it ages causes the dies to crack. Reminds me of a Peanuts cartoon:
1964-Washington-Quarter-Obv.-Die-Cracks.
The constant movement of the metal eventually breaks the die down and the die cracks. Usually on the lower bust area first.

Nice die cracks as you note, but my favorite feature of this coin is the alloy (silver).
