Hello everyone, this coin has a severe die crack, if you have the time, I would appreciate your valued opinion about this coin. I know that a die crack like this one is rare. Without rambling, I think I just wanted your thoughts, experience an opinion related to this coin

I don't see a die crack. I see an intentionally scored (cut) coin, as from a knife. The cut was so violent that the deep cutting displaced metal to both sides.

   I'm sorry, but this coin exhibits a deep cut or scratch, not a die crack. A die crack or break is entirely raised. A deep scratch like this appears as a depression with displaced metal raised along its sides.

Long, deep scratch. Just damage.

Also a Die Crack would not run over the rim. Just a long scratch.

If you looked at this coin and saw a die crack, you should NOT specialize in errors.  You are almost guaranteed to have a pile of damaged, face value coins.  Look to recognize quality and your future self will be MUCH happier.
