The denomination on the reverse is what instantly flagged for me. Fake.
I agree, this is a plating issue. Very common on 82 zincolns.
Due to the beveled nature of the defect, I'm going to call this a "Rolling Induced Fissure". Link to a description here:...
I think he's talking about labels for the very top, skinny part so you can see it when it's in a box. I don't think any makes specifically that...

1819: VF-35 1823: AU-50 (but I like it better at 45). Great doubling on the profile!
