Large Cent Coin Error

Hi Everyone
I just bought this large cent and after looking at the picture I saw two errors on the coin.
The letter A in GRATIA, and the C in CANADA
I made the one picture large so the errors are easy to see.
I could use some help identifying these errors, as I know nothing about error coins
Thanks
Alan

    IMHO, they both appear to be die cracks.

    Will this make the coin more valuable?
    Thanks

    Very unlikely, unless perchance they are attributes of some scarce die variety or die state, but I'm guessing the field/demand for such a thing is pretty narrow. But who knows - I sold several hundred Can large cents to a forum member a few years back, and I believe he was studying such things.
    You should post this over on the Darkside for better inputs, if you have not done so already.
