  The incuse right hand crack is part of the design, as it's part of the Liberty Bell (just in case you didn't know).

  The left hand "crack" might be a strike-through.

  It probably is.

  To me, it looks like a left over annealing mark that simply was not struck out of the planchet. These are typical on the high points of these coins.
  To sell it as a 2nd Bell crack would be deceptive.

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  I am inclined to agree that it is some sort of damage to the planchet that survived the strike.
