Funny, I just found this...... Could the coin I have be a prelude to this 1996 die break / cud......

The guy who runs that site sure has found a lot of great coins!! Here's the whole catalog of his finds.

Actually, after looking at both pictures side by side after posting it....I doubt they're related. The angle seems different. Although the lines are quite close near the "96" on the dates of both coins. What do you think?
 

Yours looks more like a die scratch, unlikely a crack would be that straight.
 

No, I find quite a few like that. I think it's like when some of the early zinc cents would get a bumpy appearance due to bubbles rising up.
