Looks like die crack, need closer shot to see if it might be lamination error.

Thanks for your input.Would a die crack be on both sides or just the one.Whats a person looking for on a lamination error?

I agree lamination error.. Die cracks are raised above the surface... Not on both sides unless both dies are cracked but never the same as the other side....

It is easy to tell the difference. Use a magnifying glass. If the line is raised, it is a die crack (and like cosmic said, will only be on one side). If it looks like the metal is starting to peel off, it is a lamination error.
