Usually wouldn't even gave this a second look but the die crack in question caught my eye.It starts at the NE of Lincoln's bust and travels west under th T in trust to the rim.

I am not even sure that is genuine, the crack is geniune on the coin, but I can't get around the thin font used on the coin. It is either a 1 of a kind error, or just a fake. Take it to a local coin dealer. They'll be glad to let you know if there is anything of value to this coin.
Rest in Peace

I believe what you are seeing is a linear plating bubble
Adds no premium value, it's worth one cent.
This error type occurs only on copper-plated zinc cents from 1982 to the present. Blisters form during the strike when expanding gas pushes up the copper plating from heat and pressure. A weak bond between the copper plating and the zinc core is a necessary prerequisite as are contaminants within or under the plating.

If it were a linear plating bubble, it would flatten under a tooth pick. But it is a die crack, it will not flatten. Easiest way to tell for sure.
