Raised, die crack; incuse, scratch.

 

Appears to be raised.

 

I see it incuse. Scratch imo.

 

scratch, you can see the pushed up metal along the edges of the grooves..

 

I agree, it looks like it mashed the metal on the tip of Lincoln's nose down into the coin. Damage to the coin, doesn't look like a die crack.

 

I concur scratch, looks to trench right down into the zinc, but I want to know more about "electronic scoop "
