What you have is called the cracked skull the name for these were given in the sixties and were classified as an error then, but I don;t think they are considered an error anymore since they are just a die break I think a die break

Die crack or cracks, depending on how many. Simple case of dies being used until the started to fall apart.

Thanks for all your help. My 11 year old daughter found it and she put it in a 2x2 and called it a "cracked head". She thought it was pretty funny.
