I agree. It looks like a lamination. Where the line turns north is where that area peeled off a bit. Laminations don't usually rise from the coin surface and usually flow in a straight line. A die crack would be raised an irregular when you look closely to that area. So from what I can see it is a lamination. (First one of these I've seen as I can recall)
