I found this prettting intesrting, I don't know if can be attributed to a variety or not. I have many coins from the same roll with the exact same condition. It appears to crackes in the dies.

The die cracks are not considered a variety. If the die did have a variety on it (doubled die/RPM), those die cracks can be used as markers to help positively identify the die.

Okay. That's intersting. i was thinking the same thing when I began to find what may be doubling. Although the douling was not found on all of the die-cracks (pattern), the die cracks appear with each of the doubling.
