Well done.
On the reverse, is there also a crack going from the top of the eagles left shoulder through the first S of STATES and intersecting with the main one? It is hard to tell in the second image whether it is a crack or just a ding in the coin.
On the obverse, the really prominent mark above the 6 looks more like a die scratch because its a little out of focus. But it looks like there could be a crack starting at the rim above the main one and continuing through the top of the date. You have the coin in hand so it will be easier for you see. Thanks for sharing.

It is exciting to find differences on coins and to think the die was cracking up when it struck the coin.
