Yes I know it's in bad shape but pretty cool find I think.?
Suppose that someone scratched a coin with a sharp knife or razor blade or similar object. In what ways would that look different from this coin?
(Hint: that's a trick question)
Corroded junk, nothing more.
Definitely not cool at all.
Not a die crack, it is PMD. Someone has scratched the coin.
Worth 1 cent.
The marks on the left are ridges not cuts
Picture quality not that great but the V on the left of Lincoln is an indentation the lines are ridges the line on the right is convex
You are free to believe what you like, but the photos you have supplied do not suggest that you are correct.

Thanks for your opinions I will keep them in mind
Don't know if it helps but I added another photo from a different angle this is from the left side of Lincoln one of the con caved ridgelines
So one of the lines on the left most definitely looks like some kind of gouge mark I try not to be bullheaded
That’s gunk.

It’s all PMD, including the scratch, obviously

If you really want to engage in the hobby, you'll be far better served by buying some good reference books on coins you're interested in than looking at junk coins with a microscope.
The fact that you put the weight of the coin in the post tells me you've likely been watching YouTube for numismatic information.
Minor variances in weight are normal, despite what YouTube says. Unless the coin is visibly affected (too thick or too thin, weak details from being too thin, wrong color), or is a transitional year (1983, 1982-D Small Date) it is not necessary to weigh your coins.
You have the top experts in the error field posting here (Fred Weinberg is THE top expert) and you will learn far more listening to them than anything you'll see on YouTube.
When you run a sharp edge down a metal object, it creates a furrow. The displaced metal creates a ridge. Looks like a plowed field.
I see nothing in those photos other than damage and corrosion. But keep looking.
