I see a die crack on the reverse between 7:00 and 9:00. Other than that, nothing.

Clashed dies are common and not really considered an error as such. Happens when the dies strike without a coin in between them.
Very common in the Moran Dollars and only a few select are rare and pursued.

Thank y'all very much for all the info it has what I think might be a die crack all the way around the reverse u can see it good partially in the one pic but is the die crack considered an error or no?
Some die cracks are considered errors, like the 1888-o scarface. However, radial cracks on the reverse are not uncommon. Guess you need to do a bunch of Vamworld.com searching......enjoy!!

I've been looking since earlier lol I've learned bunch already once again thanks everyone for all info
Clashes are not really considered an error.
Die clashes also aren't considered "major" unless they are strong enough to see backwards letters.
Also unfortunately your coin appears to be polished.
Collector, occasional seller
Your coin is polished with die breaks and clash marks. All three characteristics are common in this series of coins.
The answers to your questions are above... those are great pictures, and you have a good eye for detail. So, while the issues noted are not considered errors, they are interesting. Cheers, RickO
