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:

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!

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.
