    You could. I'd say Interior die break or IDB for short.

    It's a common place for a die crack on Washington quarters. Browse thru Heritage archives and I bet you'll find a bunch of them.

    It looks raised and if it is it’s a mint error called a die break.

    Die Break or crack, leave it in the cello, especially if it is a complete set. An error coin in a set would be worth more. Thanks for sharing, good luck.
