1988-D rim to rim die crack(s)!!

Just found this 88 D! Rim to rim die cracks on reverse and smaller under date!

the pic is obviously blurry but it is either pmd, plating bubble etc. anything but a die crack/break.

a (new) bisected die for this date would be a pretty substantial find.

Hummmm....
in my opinion, the width of the issue area is about as wide as the step area of the Lincoln Memorial.
I wonder if an overlay of the coin spun clockwise would fit exactly within that area.

So a copy of the reverse of the coin. The corner of the building with the FG designer initials is at roughly 3:00 clock orientation. I wonder, if you turned it clockwise, to about 5:30, would that line up correctly?

The area below the date on the obverse is kinda out of place, unsure what to make of it at this moment.

New photos for 88 bisecting die crack

A complete obverse and reverse photo would be good. I am concerned about the area under the date it's not clah related, or double struck related since that pattern is not on any Lincoln cent design. It bleeds onto the rim, which is highly abnormal unless the design matches an off center strike, or other recognized error.

My first thought in the other post was a slight chance at a double struck, rotated in collar. That's why an overlay would help. I am not an a pc which has paint dot net on it, to make a crude overlay to see if it is even a slight possibility. Cracks can be semi straight, but typically you do not see two that are that straight without much deviation. The reverse photo could be better, more focused to see any tell tale signs of that's going on.

This could simply be a split planchet. It would be difficult to know if it's post mint damage or, was it done during the strike, IF it is a split planchet.

Should I have time to circle around to this post in the future. I will see if I can grab a copy of the reverse photo and try an overlay. No promises. I am swamped.
