Best area of forum to discuss Die Breaks?

Hello folks,
I have been busy hunting Morgans, but decided to look into Wheaties, too. I picked up a 1958 Lincoln cent labeled "Spike Head Die Break" in UNC condition, having no idea what the label meant. I just needed the 1958 year for an album fill. After googlefoo showed me the way, I have come to believe that it is something known as an SKH-1c-1958-04.
The spike is a small line running from the upper part of Lincoln's head to the right of the "E" in WE on the Obverse. A die chip appears on the right side of the vertical column forming the "T" in CENT on the Reverse.
Now that I am in the rabbit hole, wondered if anyone can tell me the best location on this forum for learning about these die breaks and similar?
If a donation is needed to support the site, please advise. Seems like a good place to learn some interesting history.
Thank you!

Very nice photo's also, I might add, brother.
Cool.
@emeraldATV, those were supposed to be a couple of macro lens shots for definition of the breaks, but ended up just iPhone pics when I found the battery in my Olympus was dead. I hope to do better next time.
