Just purchased from Perry on ebay, this 1837, even though just an R1, has an interesting die crack or improper mixing of metals, die crack more than likely. I find it as a 6-I but could be wrong. It appears pretty easily attributed, even with the tough life it has endured. Love those die cracks.

To me it looks like a crack in the planchet. Very cool.
Cracked planchet or die crack, it's always nice to see one of those pieces

Definitely a planchet crack. Fairly common to find on these.
