I can seem to find a reference for a die crack for this date and mint mark. It stems from the rim to nose. Perhaps it's not a die crack. I'm not sure.

Photos need to be as large as possible and cropped. I can hardly see the surface quality of this coin.

My first impression is that it looks like a lamination issue.
Suffering from bust half fever.

Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves.
Rest in Peace

Pretty much the same shot. You've cropped it, now enlarge it.

Without sharper pics I'd say lamination peel as well.

I'm thinking lamination as well. Caution--enlarging a smaller, lower resolution image will not produce a large sharper image.

By enlarging the photo, you can see that it is a slight lamination, not a die crack.

I would agree that you have a buffalo with a delamination...doesn't appear to have disengaged from the coin...but need a better pic to be sure.
