I recently purchased some coins and I am not sure if this 1978 Washington quarter is a real die crack error or man made. Please advise.file:///C:/Users/Owner/Pictures/DSC...0%20Coin.jpg

The link you posted is trying to pull the image from your PC. It either needs to be hosted online somewhere and linked, or attached to a post.

I'll add my Two Cents in also...
For pictures of coins, if you want to get close to a coin, turn on the MACRO or closue up feature, its usually indicated by a flower on the device.
The flash is usually overpowering for a coin. its much simpler and less frustrating to use natural outside light (not directly in sunlight) to take a picture of a coin.
If that doesn't work, you can do a table lamp or other light. If thats too bright throw some sheer cloth over the light long enough to shoot a pic.
If that doesn't work, put a piece of plastic bag or other thin film/paper over the flash on the camera long enough to snap a pic

Give us a nice, direct on shot of the Obverse and Reverse (front and back) of the coin.

If you have a hosting service like inkfrog or other source, you can upload the pic there. Then all you do is copy out that link from your browser and put that link in the post.
For it to show up on the website, using the full editor, next to the youtube button, simply use that small picture icon. Put your link in between the [img] tags.

Don't try and do us a favor by turning it to wild coloring, or adding a bunch of arrows. All it does it confuse us. If you want to, put up a natural pic, then another with your arrows if really necessary.

That is all.

If the line from the track is raised above the coin it is probably it's real. If it's something cut into the coin, then it's not a die crack and is most likely damage. Can't really say for sure though without a pic.
