Looks more like die deterioration to me. Don't see anything close to a match. But keep looking for it, I am.
What makes you say it could possibly be a die crack? With coin in your hand you have a better view then us. I'll wait for the results.
Haven't seen it yet. It's probably a die gouge. Nice arrow. And WELCOME to the forum dollar.
Machine doubling IMHO.
Arrows, I don't even see the indians. The coin is a mis-aligned die with clash marks.
You guys have good eyes. All I see is some md on the 'A' in states and reflections.
Nice find blginatl. And WELCOME to the forum.
Yep, a definite die clash
Nicks and dings but I don't see any clash marks.
Well whatever it's on it's MD.
That's a strange looking double strike. It looks like it was hammered to look like that.
Not stupid, just one more step in learning.
All of the above.

Tucson, did someone say Tucson. I usually go there about twice a year to visit in-laws. Tell me more.

The mint considers this normal. But I ask on a proof coin? It shouldn't be normal.
It does look mis-aligned but not by much. Mis-aligned die with a clash is know as a MAD Clash.
Neat, it's probably a gas bubble.
Separate names with a comma.
