    Based on your photos, it's not a
    die crack, it's a scratch.

    (notice the scratch on the lower
    left side goes onto the rim)

    Can you post new photos of it
    without the glare of the light?

    Agreed, that it is a scratch. From your photos, I can see places where coin metal is pushed up along the edge. You won't see this in a crack because the die prevents it from happening. Also, I've never ever seen a crack that straight.

    Don’t be bummed keep looking. Die cracks are a great error because you can usually see the better examples with the naked eye. Be patient, use a 5X to 7X hand held glass, have good light and they will magically appear.

    Odd cause ive looked under very highpowered to just a regular magnifying glass and the line is raised there is no recession anywhere ive looked under 4 different scopes up to 60 times power no recession at all and you cansee the raised metal line naked eyed as clearly as rest of design

    Don't Give up. I have been searching for some 20 years. I finally found my first doubled die coin just two months ago. While CRHing, I finally found my first. A 1995 WDDO-001. It made looking at all those pennies for soooooo long worth it.
