It looks much smaller without the microscope.

I think you’ve been beaten.
That's a real one! Nice!
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.
@Manorcourtman fixed it for you
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
It’s bigger than the Grand Canyon! Whats wrong with you people!😺

Click bait
That 1973 cent sure gets a lot of pictures..... Next, the molecular level....Using an SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)....Cheers, RickO
It's not as cracked up as seems, fwiw
I think you need a hobby.
The photos are always so good; the "conjectures" (for lack of a more pejorative word) are always so, uh, odd!

Just because we collect coins doesn't mean we read the thesaurus for fancy words - please keep it practical so us normal people can understand what you are trying to say -

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.
A fun Lincoln crack
Yup, Memorial rev die seems to develop stress fractures. How's the actual building doing? Peace Roy
