Possible Cracked Planchet?

What do think of this WLH, does it have a cracked planchet? The crack goes from the R in dollar through the edge to the obverse. I tried to get decent pictures of it. It is a 1934 WLH. Any idea on value? Thanks

    Looks like one to me. I wonder if there was a problem with a batch of planchets that year, as I also have a 1934 WLH with a severe cracked planchet and lamination:

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    It's a nice tiny crack so it adds a tiny bit to the value... but still a nice premium. image
