I pulled this from my latest half box. There appears to be a die crack through the first 9 and the mintmark. The line is raised metal, with no depressions on either side.
This looks like a coin scratch. Note how it flows into the rim area? If it were a die crack, it would have not gone through the outside rim. It would have stopped short of the rim. A cut on a coin will run through the rim:
