Hello fellow astronauts, will someone please help guide this find? I am assuming it is die break and is just common wear and tear?

If you are referring to the die hair line below the T it looks like a die crack but it is not very clear from those pics whether it is a die crack or residue .

Thank you both. I am working with an old iphone 6 or a scanner.. sadly this is the best I can really do at the moment. I will review coin photo tutorials.

Given the little information present, is there any value? I will admit that I am not a collector, in it for the fame and am just trying to survive and put food on the table.. so I'm trying to figure out if I should just add it to the coin jar or list it and any other oddities I find.

If that is a small die crack then there really isn't any added value for that.

@craz, that does look like a die crack to me, but as mentioned above, better pics could help to confirm that. I agree with @rothery that even so, you shouldn't expect it to add materially to the value of the coin.
