Nice photos on the Die Crack. All "SPIKE HEADS" will have a die crack from the rim into any portion of the bust so looks to be a spike head also. Its not valuable enough for grading in many cases as they are common, but these generally are sellable without grading if you arent finding these just for keeping in your personal collection. Heres a quick video for you and others and some other photos of Lincoln Cent Spike Heads by year. https://cuds-on-coins.com/spike-head

Die crack. Not a die break. A crack is a line across a die:
1996-Penny-Die-Break?
(Upper left image) Note it is just a line. when the crack get larger it breaks deeper into the die, the movement is seen as a wider crack. A die chip is when some of the die breaks off of the metal on a die crack:
1996-Penny-Die-Break?
Note the chip on the crack. That is there because part of the die broke off of the die, thus leaving a void on the die, the coins will show the voids on the coin called a die chip.
A die break is seen where there was a crack or imperfection on the die. And a lot more of the die breaks away from the die and leaves a large void.
1996-Penny-Die-Break?
Thus these are called die breaks. So the OP's coin has a die crack, not a die break.

CoopHome:What is the difference between a die crack, chip or break? amount of die missing forming a larger void
