It looks like DDD. Die deterioration doubling, It also runs down the left wing. The crack is also a sign of a tired or late die stage.
It is what is called a flared G and is considered a type 2 or transitional reverse. Here is a photo of the FG. [ATTACH]

The reason I said G-08 there is that there is rim rim seperation. G6 and lower there is usually no rim separation. This one still has descent rim...
It would be a lot easier if you posted these in full size. The coin looks in the G range. Possibly G8 to VG10.
