    You have a die crack that extend through a portion of Lincoln's head. This is known as a 'Cracked Skull'. I don't know how much premium these command but I don't think it is very much.

    Not sure what you mean by "machine die".

    That is known as machine doubling, it carries no extra premium.

    Die cracks and machine doubling are quite common and don't add any extra premiums to value. However, someone might go a buck or two for the cracked skull die crack.
