It looks much smaller without the microscope.

That's a real one! Nice!

Looks like it might just be damage, if someone ran a knife along that rightmost column.
Could be called tooling.
Usually a die crack starts at one edge and goes to the interior.

There are some much larger cuds known on the Lincoln Memorial Cents, of course:

If by die crack you mean pmd, yes. Yes it is.

Here's a real die crack on a modern Lincoln. No microscope needed!

It's not uncommon to have chips, cracks, and breaks on Memorial columns. They can be helpful PUPs for die variety identification.

From the pics, it looks like the other columns have developed some chips and cracks,so this could be a larger break.

The photos are always so good; the "conjectures" (for lack of a more pejorative word) are always so, uh, odd!

Just because we collect coins doesn't mean we read the thesaurus for fancy words - please keep it practical so us normal people can understand what you are trying to say -

Gee, I apologize for using big words; I didn't realize some would think they're big words. And, yes, I do know what I did say.
