You have both a die crack and a die chip on your nickel
but neither is considered an error.
The "beehive" is a die chip on the left side of the building,
yours is on top.

Welcome back! You have a Die Crack and a Die Chip. If the Die Crack runs to the other side uninterrupted, it would be a Rim To Rim Die Crack.
Errers and Varietys.

 BACK!!  You posted 2 nice images (the 2 large sideways closeups) of the top and bottom of the nickel, Can you also post a nice closeup like the first 2 and show the Monticello Building? I would like to see if that crack on top and bottom continue through the middle |

Cannot tell from the pics if it is rim to rim but that would be cool if it were. Nickels obviously had an issue with this though, none listed for 43S at this point. Nice clear pics as asked for would be great. ADDED LINK. https://cuds-on-coins.com/rim-to-ri...u-s-coins-2/-makecents-

Get those pics to you ASAP I promise because I GOTSTA know now.
You guys are amazing. Thank you.

Vertical rim-to-rim cracks seem to happen fairly often on War Nickels. No idea why, I assume that the silver alloy would be softer than standard CuNi planchets. Anyway, the crack often runs through one of the ridges on the dome, then along a pillar, along one side of the steps (occasionally through the steps), and out into the field. I can see it on the dome of your coin, but I can't make out if it runs along a column and down. |

Doesn't look like a rim to rim die crack.
The top crack seems to stop at the dome and the bottom
crack would have to come through the steps between the I and C
then veer right to join with the one at the top.
I don't see that on your nickel, I only see two individual cracks.
