I don't know what power the Grading Services use to GRADE coins - but you don't need anything over 10x or 15x 98.5% of the time, looking for...
If, by imposing the "Liberty" over the date, we are supposed to see it in the other photos you've provided, without the overlay, then I'd have to...
I'm late to this party, and have very little to add - except : Sir, your coin is damaged, and has nothing, repeat nothing, to do with anything,...

If there's something raised, then it's clear glue, in all probability.
Based on the photos, it's not a die crack. It's a stain - both of them, at the top and at the right of the obv. One photo (the 5th) looks like...
worse than the normal 'environmental damage' It's badly corroded
It's a rim cud, not a finned rim.
Not a wrong planchet - As mentioned above, what you see occurred after the coin was in circulation. The surfaces are damaged; not an error of...
