It's the first die crack I've ever seen that runs right through the middle of a design element. Die cracks are normally in the fields and start wherever a sharp change of design (like a serif, leaf tip, denticle, etc) and go through to another design element to its edge. I can't remember ever seeing one like that, but I'm not into dollars or modern coinage. Maybe it was getting ready to break apart. Good keeper, just because of the oddity.
