   The raised line down the nose appears to be a die crack.  Coinage dies can crack as they wear. The pressure of striking squeezes metal into the crack, resulting in the raised line. Die cracks are particularly common on older coins, such as those from the nineteenth century, but they occur with some frequency on modern coins as well.

   The coin is likely worth little or no premium due to this relatively minor die crack.

If it is raised it is a die crack like Sandon said, if not it is a scratch. Does it run all the way to the rim of the coin?
