    Take a look at www.ashmore.com It lists all known 1921 die crack and varieties. The 1921 was a coin made sloppely and some (like yours) have several mistakes.

    No die cracks are irregular raised lines on a coin. Die breaks are large raised lumps on a coin where a chunk of the die has broken completely away.
