If this was a plated coin, and not 100% nickel, the answer would be easy .... it would be that the plating was being cracked off. From What I can see, it's the strangest die crack I've ever seen.

Looks like the patched canoe variety to me. Nice find.
There would be slight differences in some of them as the
chrome plating on the die continued to break away.
