    You think these two coins were struck with same obv die 12 years apart? Other years I have between do not have particular die cracks.

    Sorry, Derick, but those cracks are not identical and came from different dies. I can see at least 3 things that are different on the two cracks that run through the rock. See if you can find them.

    It seems there are more cracks on the 1920 due to wear, but the big crack running above the engraver name seems very close.

    Close, as in "horseshoes or hand grenades", is not good enough. Examine them closely and you will see they came from different dies.

    US Wheat cent are one coin much like Chile coinage.
    1909-1930-PDS both obv and rev but only date+mint mark change some die are known to be. Used 1-2 year that was the 1922-D/Plain.that is one I can think of without going to the books +reading more. I maybe wrong but I am Not a expert just a collecter like U
