Certainly appears to be a die crack.

From the pictures the crack seems to be a crack in the coin itself. That crack is most probably a lamination crack.
If the line was produced by a die crack, there would be a ridge in the coin in the places indicated.

Interesting, because most laminations I have seen affect the whole area of the coin, and in in a few of them, a complete thin surface layer of the coin has detached itself.
