Damaged coin or error?

[DIE HARD]

Hello everyone I was glancing at my pocket change as usual and this coin caught my eye. I didn't give it a good look until I got home but realized it has a flat mark near the eye and what seems to be lines that go through the eye and out the back of the head. On the reverse it has a raised portion near the beak. It might just be another crushed coin or something it just looked uncirculated. Please if anyone can give me advice whether to keep it or spend it at the crane machine it would be appreciated.

to me, it just looks like a poor/weak strike being the result of high speed production. personally, I'd spend it

Yeah, looks like a late die state and a possible minor die clash from the neck area of the obverse. Not dramatic or "pretty" enough to be worth more than face value.
