Its VERY hard to see them pics but that kinda looks like it could be a bubble under the plating. Maybe a crack but most likely a bubble

Looks like a die crack, these are common, no added value IMO.

From the look of those photos, that is a small die break, or die crack.....

It's a die crack. Too thin and too well defined to be a gas bubble.

That was my first thought as well, but there are some strange things that raise doubts. That is a very heavy thick crack to only extend between two letters and no further. Then you have the fact that it does extend across the body of one letter yet is the same height and weight on the letter as it is in the field. Die cracks usually are much weaker where they cross the devices or letters. To be that high on the letter and the same height in the field would mean the crack would have to be very deep into the die. Why isn't a crack that deep, longer?

I'll guess that a piece of the die fell out, thus a die chip.

Kloccwork419, Sir, when I address to the coincommunity members as a Sir or Madam, I do that seriously with respect and high regards to the efforts and time they wastes to heed my request. To all those who have helped me identify this coin's error, Ithank you very sincerely. By the way, can a die crack coin have value too?
