Found this going through a world coin lot I picked up a couple of months ago. Curious to know if this is common, it goes right from the rim at a 12 O'clock position, straight down to a couple mm above the date.

Sorry if the photo is blurry, I will take clearer photos and add full coin pics shortly.

The area is raised off of the coin.

Hiya, all the wartime coppers (bronzes) of the UK were struck in quantity and quickly, with not nearly the same regard for quality control as in other periods - this is what gave birth to the prolific 'ghosting' on Pennies, and the premium paid today for any fully struck silver or bronze coin from 1914-18 (and actually extending a little beyond that). This is all to say that although I have never seen a crack quite that dramatic, die cracks, chips, Cuds, etc., are not uncommon. There are highly specialized collectors of these issues, so perhaps one of them can chime in and let us know if this particular die state is of interest.
