Does a die crack preclude a Jefferson from FS designation?

Here is a tough date Jefferson with otherwise great 5.25 steps without a question a FS...except for a die crack. I know any mark or weakness precludes FS designation but does a die crack as well? Jeff collectors please weigh in.

    Ok I got official word from PCGS. A die crack does not preclude from FS designaiton. So my question has been answered.

    >>>PS...what's the date/mm of this coin?

    Its a 1950-P, and is now a PCGS MS65FS coin. I submitted 6 of these, all from the same die and obviously roll, 2 were graded 65FS (probably because of the toning), and the rest were 65's save 1 MS66. They all had FS's but some may have been weaker than the others. From a strike/marks stand point I was looking for 2 MS65FS's, 3 MS66FS's, and I thought I had a legit shot at 67FS- the tone as seen in the pic i think did them in for a slight downgrade. The coin I thought could go 67FS went 66 no FS. No gifts from PCGS right now. BTW - Here are some other grades I got on 2 other orders -

    Clackamas...Nice job on the coins and a great question. They already look great in your set...home grown pride. Where in the heck did you find nice raw coins like that....what an eye. PCGS MS67's are tough. Keep it up...I'm right behind you. Again...Nice job (eye)......
