Is this a die crack, gouge or something else ? Freaky-it looks like a bullet path.

That's an awful straight line to be a crack. Looks more like an impurity that was transferred to the coin inadvertently and under the copper plate. Thus the plating blistered along the line. nlp

I also agree. This is a line of "bubbles" or "blisters" under the plating and not a die crack.

Thanks,
Bill

They are sometimes straight, curved or orange rind looking. Just depending what caused them. If they flow through a device, that is what they are. Raise after the strike.
