Agree with the scratch. The date looks like many of the well-circulated '37 (not 1939) S wheat cents I have. Just lots of minor hits and circulation wear.
If it were a Die Crack, it would be raised from the fields. Yours is Incuse which indicates a scratch. Nothing on the date that would indicate anything other than just damage.
