Sorry to be blunt... Either listen to the experts or move on. The people that have responded to you have been studying coins for probably collectively over 100 years... That's just between the ones who have already responded. They know what they are talking about.
I've only been at this for a little over 6 months and even I can tell you that is post mint damage, such as a sharp instrument, that created that scratch. It is not an error except by human hands long after it left the mint.
You should do some more studying on what die chips and die cracks are so you can better tell them apart
