Comments:  Date placement is LH.  The top of a six digit is visible in the denticles.  Light die crack from 12:30 to the top of the first feather and another from 7:30 to the bust point.  The location of the second die crack is a common occurrenceon many copper nickel obverses.

Rick Snow indicates that the reverse develops a die crack from 12:00 through the shield and continuing to 3:00 in the wreath.  A second die crack is observed from 11:00 through the left side of the wreath to the ribbon at the bottom.  A die crack, not mentioned by Rick Snow, appears at the rim at 8:00 and continues into the tip of the top olive leaf.
