Error Die Crack | 1993 Strangest Die Break/Crack I've Seen

Here is striking coin. The break is massive and is plainly visible with out aid.

Any thoughts? Is this just a major die break?

Wow. That is unusual. I wonder what caused that myself. It's pretty cool to say the least.

It is indeed a die crack, and a very impressive one at that. This crack would have continued to grow until the die broke. Very nice...

I would have liked to seen this one in a later stage, if it lasted that long?
Nice find.
