Not a part of the collar by design but a pretty nice die crack.

So it is a die crack. I had no idea. Seems every die crack on a penny has a name. So, who is going to name it...

The collar is normal, but someone has scratched the coin across the neck above it (That is a scratch, not a die crack.)

@Condor101, it appears to be raised and not incuse. I believe it is a die crack.

It the cut is at an angle, it will make part of it raised. But it is just a coin scratch.

I believe is also a deep scratch that form the raise area and wear down over time.

Where it starts in the hair appears incuse but the rest seems raised.

Die flow lines cross it and there is even a die dot on it, just to the right of the half way point. The light reflecting off the dot makes it appear the light source is from about K6. Unless my perception is off kilter again, this linear part would be raised and a die scratch.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
