These are die events. The die was normal, then experienced a crack as the die ages. It is often to have one, but as the die is continued to be kept in use, then more can be seen. The most I've noticed is "9."
I feel these have no premium for them, as they are common to find. New collectors go gaga over them, but eventually they catch on these are common die events. (1950's Wheat cents were over used during that time)
CoopHome: Why are die crack common on some designs? over usage of dies and come designs will also tend to have these from the die clash events. the Memorial cents are often affected. possibly because of the 4 corners on the outline of the die. thus they crack more often on this design.
