As everyone has stated, another grease struck thru for sure. Common, but always cool to find - congrats!
For reference, here is an overview thread on MADs: http://www.cointalk.com/t71781/
I Agree. Looks like a good candidate for a struck thru...as to what I am not sure...
When I first saw the pic I was like, spilled dog food! But alas it was already pointed out that it wasn't Alpo so a million dollar clad error...
I concur, nice photos! Those are some nice reference photos, thanks for posting
The pics are entirely too small and I have no idea what part of the nickel is in question. By your description, "...[a] crack that looks like it's...

Welcome to the forum! To guess a dollar amount or DDR number, as JC stated, you have to post pics as there are so many DDRs with extra appendages...

It certainly appears that the crack occurred post strike as opposed to the opposite. Maybe as suggested the crack was influenced by a containment...
Post mint damage of some sort, probably one of the methods described...
