Cross reference: KM# 77.1, 1 10 Cents from Canada. 06/23/2019.

Note: Per Mike Diamond “I would interpret this as a cracked, sunken die, not a shattered die.  None of the die cracks intersect, as far as I can tell.  With only two prominent die cracks present, it falls far short of a shattered die.”
