Line over drumstick

Discussie over Verenigde Staten • ¼ Dollar "Washington Quarter" (Bicentennial)

The reverse of this coin has an anomaly - a line of extra material that is in parallel above the drumstick.  My research hasn't found mention of it, but I'm no pro.

 

Has anyone more expert seen this before?

 

Thanks,

CJ

I think it got scratched from friction during use or storage. Lother

It looks raised so from a die crack. Is it raised or recessed (scratch)?

Raised, as its light/dark sides are the same as the drumstick when lit from an angle. If it were recessed, I’d expect it to be opposite. 
 

So likely from a small die crack? Would it be worth having some entity certify it? 
 

Thanks for your input.

That was my opinion too.  You may get a couple of dollars for it but you'll never recoup the cost of having it graded.
