 Also very common on the top of the memorial.

I have found several 82 and 83 cents with nice die cracks. Not really any added value to the coin besides some cool factor on the nicer cracks. I have a few with 4 or more cracks on the reverse. I keep them as I like the look. Look closer at the memorial and see if the crack continues along any o the lines or columns. I see that it travels up to the #9 bay. Just curious if it goes any farther.

No they can happen anywhere on the coin. I have seen them go from one letter to another. John1
