Die cracks are raised on the coin, but that does look like scratch. PMD

A die crack shouldn't damage the rim because the rim is formed by the collar, which is essentially a third die. It just looks like a scratch started in the center of the coin dragged out beyond the rim. You can replicate this with a nail and cent if you'd like a better idea of how it happened.

But, this is more like a seam, not a crack. It is raised but, not like two sides of a scratch. Only one edge like a seam. Just so you know, I tried to replicate it with a nail and did not come close. It was difficult to keep the nail that straight. It also produced a definite crack, two edges, where I could get it deep enough to show. It failed to produce a seam, like the quarter has. Is there a place to send it in just to have it looked at by someone. I understand it must be difficult to make a positive conclusion without having a coin in front of you. No disrespect intended.

If you scratch a coin at an angle, it will produce a vertical displacement of metal that appears to be a crack. A nail would most likely not be sharp enough to make a thin gouge like that, you would need to use a knife. I have no doubt at all that your coin has been damaged.
