Came across this cent while going through a bunch of old rolls. This one is on the bigger side even for the 1950's where die cracks are common.
I like finding these little oddities now and then.

Yours looks very similar to this one.

Way back when I believe these were referred to as spiked heads. I may be wrong. Also around that time there were cracked skulls as well.
They call ’em that and more. Here’s more, one is close to the OP coin.
You're not wrong.

Interesting that yours has what may be a die crack from lower rim through shoulder akin to a 1950 die crack. Thought it to be a scratch at first, but after looking at the SKH-1c-1950-09 it may be a die crack also. What do you think?

I was just thinking the same thing.
