Just curious what this may be worth. I believe it has a die crack error, and I haven't seen this token online with the same error.

A die crack is not an error.
In your pictures the line appears incuse rather than raised, in which case it is most likely damage and would reduce the value.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Even though it's damaged it'll still sell for a lot.

It looks more like a planchet crack or post-mint damage. Please verify if the "crack" on both sides is recessed or raised.

At 1st view, I thought cracked flan. But the crack does not show on the opposite side. I think it's a deep scratch. F to VF detail, environmental damage (porosity on fillet side) and scratched. Value about $150-$200 CAD.
