We all know these aren't Doubled Dies but still interesting and collectable.

They are the 1953 so called doubled dies. The dies were over used and they let a lot of problems make coins. Die break on the head. VLDS dies.

Can't tell if it's icuse or not. If it is I would opt for a delamination rather then crack.

I sill don't see it as a crack. I think it's something else. Nice coin, anyway, and better than just a crack.

It is definitely a cracked skull George. Very common in the 50s, and they get progressively bigger the more coins are struck with the cracked die. Believe it or not...they can get worse than this one, but it's a nice example.
