Here's what I think is a sizeable crack. What do you think? Pic. taken from two different angles then rotated.

It looks oddly straight and curved for a die crack. They are generally jagged. Even though I agree that it's a die crack, it's an odd one.

for probably the first time in history, 'll ask:
could you pull back and show the full coin at a lower magnification?

I think it may be a die clash.

I like that one...and I almost think I see a second, finer crack to the left?
Is the field of the coin on either side of the large crack at a slightly different level?

There is a crack to the west of the larger raised crack. There is also a crack just southeast near the initials and what looks like one that was polished at top center of the Lincoln Memorial.
