Think that's a Linear Plating Bubble, Centavo, not a die crack or Gouge. Try pressing on it fairly firmly to see if it collapses, then you'll know. May take a bit of pressure, but that looks like zinc rot has caused gasses to form under there.

Either a plating bubble or a die gouge. I could go either way.

There are a couple corresponding lines on Lincoln's face as well.
