Interesting Die crack on a trade $, y'all seen this before?

First time I've seen such a prominent die crack on a trade. Is this common for this year/mm?
Seems very prominent and goes through actual details and raised areas of the coins not just the fields.
What do y'all think of this crack?

    I wonder if the 'die crack' was intentional as an attempt to add a feature that may indicate authenticity.... Just a thought, probably not though.... Cheers, RickO

    Its possible, didn't even cross my mind it was a fake due to being thrown off by the die crack

    The coffee stain adds a nice touch.
