It appears to be a quite nice example of what is referred to as a "Filled Die", a "Grease Filled Die" or a "Greaser". Interesting, but little value and then only from those who collect curiosities.
The ragged line above the date doesn't match up with anything on the reverse. It's probably the edge of the grease on that area of the die. My guess is that it only lasted a few more strikes before it was spread too thin in that area of the field
Very nice steps on the memorial, but what the heck are all those lines (one bisecting the N in CENT)?
I'll take a guess at some die gouges, partially obscured by bad plating coming down from the steps to Cents, probably trying to rescue a late stage die. The one crossing Cent I'm not really sure but there is machine doubling also.
Thank you for the second pic. I was looking for some possible clashing on the reverse as to what I posted earlier about the obverse. I don't see anything like that here. But, as was said, the obverse is probably part of a grease filled die problem.
