It is hard to tell from the photos. It could be a small die chip, a minor planchet flaw or just a circulation ding. In any case it is too minor to carry any premium over face value.
It is not a die crack, but could be one of the one's named above... and no numismatic value. Cheers, RickO
I really can't tell from the photos. If it's an entirely raised, erratic line with no sign of trauma to the coin around it, then it's a die crack. If it's a raised, splotch or blob, then a die chip. Either way, though, no additional value. Keep it if you like it.

I believe that is a small die break - these are quite common on that area of the Lincoln cent reverse. They also commonly appear on the other side’s column. Yours is a decent size and as stated above carries very little additional value but is a neat piece.
These types of breaks also commonly showed up in the word Liberty on late 1950s wheat cents and are collected by date.
