I posted this on RunnersDad's 2008 lincoln Thread and got a few responses, and I was going to put it on my roll search thread, but didn't want to dirty that one up with an error type post, so I thought I would start another thread just for this. The story is, out of 10 rolls of 2008 P, I found 9 examples of this, what I am assuming is a die break or something of the sort. So far the suggested names in the other thread were "Cowlick" and "it looks like hes wearing a wreath - its abrehamus lokeonos (made up name there) 2008....bc" 
So, feel free to let me know your thoughts, and for my information, what you think caused it, and what name should be attached to it so I can sell 8 of my nine examples and retire. 
And these are of (the first one) with and (the second one) without the die break
I am assuming its a die break, but I am not an error expert. The area is raised, and I found 9 examples out of 10 rolls (mostly in one or two rolls). Any opinions, or suggestions for what to call it

Alas...the 'ol spotted "cracked skull".
The die was really starting to develop a crater on the outer one. COOL.
Why is stuff like this on Silver Dollars so special & but on cents it's just a neat die crack?
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
but true, any little die crack on a classic silver dollar and its
some type VAM #.
I have one of those cracked skulls from the 50s.
Hoard the keys.
