My questions: 1. Does this look like a die cracks? 2. Could this be late-stage Die Deterioration or something post-mint? I will upload more photos tomorrow . Thanks for looking.

From what I can see here, it appears to be Die Deterioration Doubling. I'll wait for full coin pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
