Die crack or scratch?

I’m not very good at identifying errors like these.

Looks like a struck thru.

If it’s incuse on the cent then it’s probably damage.

If it is raised then it might be the beginning of a rim-to-rim crack if it can be show to reach the rim on the other end.

It appears to be raised and it is very faint but it fades out and it does reach rim to rim

Please post some pics at differing angles and maybe lighting.

Looks like a scratch to me. Scratches displace metal, so the ridge(s) will be raised.
