1858 flying Eagle- is this a die crack error?

1858 flying eagle cent in pretty good condition, found with a few others- this one has a couple of raised ridges on both sides. Trying to figure out what would cause this and come up with a rough idea of the value. Definitely raised ridges, not scratches? Would this be a die crack error?

There is a long mark diagonal from the A in America , across the eagle's tail, to just above the eight.
Another mark across the wings.

On the reverse side, a long diagonal mark from top left to bottom right bisects both N's, with a small branch going towards the top right above the T.
Attaching pictures from a couple different angles.

Thanks for any help!

Wow, would have been nice to see that when it was unc.

 

Wow! Nice find! That is a huge die crack

 

Looks like damage to me.... Those appear to be cuts and not die cracks...

 

If it is raised would it be considered "damage"? It doesnt look like the metal was lifted up from the coin

 

Cuts can cause metal to raise up to the side of the cut giving the appearance of being raised. I would bet the farm that is what we are looking at here.

 

Lets hope youre right..! Because it would be a shame to lose your farm! Lol

 

I don't normally bet the farm unless I'm certain about something

 

I agree. It's damage.
