@charliee, it looks to me like this linear mark on Liberty's cheek is below the surface of the coin. Rather than being a die crack, it is an old scratch (and there is a similar, but smaller, one across her canthus).

If it was a die crack it would be raised.
Incuse is a scratch which is damage.

Agree, just an old toned-in scratch. You'll get more replies if you show your pics right-side up.
