Nice catch brother Joshua. I still have mine. You made me look!
And another in my drawer

 

It looks like my dime is in the stage after yours, seeing the cud on Roosevelt's head is absent on yours.

 

@JoshuaP & @Heavymetal
Nice finds guys..

It is known as a Bi-Level Die Crack

Must be a Roosevelt day.

 

Meow has not ever seen a coin like it. Learned a new terminology today.

 

Damn Your good

 

That’s a very nice bi-level die crack!

 

Since the fracture line is stepped and extends from one point on the rim to another point on the rim, it would be classified as a retained cud of the anvil (obverse) die. However, like most retained cuds, the part of the die demarcated by the crack was almost certainly still physically attached to the rest of the die neck.
