1943 nickle with die crack?

Trying to figure all this out. Is this a die crack coming off the hair toward the 4?

 No - more like a planchet flaw.

 Lamination flaw

A lamination flaw is a planchet defect that results from metal impurities or 

internal stresses. Lamination flaws cause discoloration, uneven 

surfaces, peeling, and splitting. [Quote] 

Thank you ZacUK. I appreciate the info., learning…

another de-lamination can be seen on the reverse between MONT and FIVE

This coin has had a long hard life and can be forgiven for going to pieces.

Yes, long, hard life for it. I will look into deciphering the differences to tell crack from other marks.

Thank you Mr.  Midnight

Lamination flaws occurs in production, not later. 

That said, for reasons I don't understand, my experience is that Jefferson Nickels are more prone to them than any other U.S. type.

When a die cracks the crack will be filled with metal during the minting process. The result on the coin is always a raised line. You can see (feel) that's not the case on your coin.

Thank you Essor Prof.  I appreciate your time to look & explain this part to me! Learning as I go
