Seems to be cracked behind the pillars and cracked underneath a bit.. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Clashed die. Match it up with Lincoln on the obverse.

I checked the opposite side and there are no signs of the cracks penetrating all the way through.

They are not cracks. The marks are where the dies came together without a planchet between them. Google clashed Die.

Welcome to the forum.
A default icon and your third post in this thread is a red flag to the folk who have tolerated the same one-two punch for years.
I don’t see people vouching for values of coins here, either.
The positive is that you take a decent photo, way better than I.
You just don’t get rich from change until you learn more.
I urge you not to be intimidated by us and participate in the dynamic learning environment by observing what goes on in here and reading threads. Few here deign to call themselves appraisers because they are still learning—at all levels of experience.

You can be a numismatist, please stick around.
Good luck, and oh yeah, play nice.
