die crack or MM?

I don't think it's a mintmark, but it's too blurry to tell if it's a crack or whatever.

Cool...good eyes!

 

If that is a mint mark, that would be one of the widest spreads I've seen short of dropped letters. Kind of looks like a gouge similar to the Wisconsin extra leaf quarter, but hard to tell with the pics. Looks cool through the blur though

 

I thought I've seen that before somewhere!!! Maybe on a different coin/date.

 

I'm gonna try to get better pictures. There is a significant die crack at the top of the bust too.

 

It's a die crack. These "roping" die cracks from the tail of the 9 to the mint mark were very common on wheat cents from the 50s.
