The line looks incuse. (sunk into the coin) It looks like someone cut the coin. If it were a die crack it would be raised above the the fields and devices. PSD

 This is as large a blowup I can get. You can see the DD on the left side and the crack splits in two at the bottom.

 Sorry that is coin damage. If it were a die crack on the 'E' area the crack would have been on the field an to tops of the devices. it is not. Just someone cut it with a box knife. PSD (Post-Strike-Damage)

Your razor blade scratch looks very similar to the damage. What you have is damage on the coin, most likely by a razor blade. It is NOT a die crack or any form of mint error. Remember - die cracks are raised, while scratches are incuse.BTW, why are you scratching up your coin if you think it's valuable?
