Hello,
I just received some coins from a sale and found this crack on an Australian 1952 sixpence.
Just wanted to know if it is a die crack or a normal crack, and if it adds any more value.
Look forward to your answers.

Looks more like a lamination error.

Yes, it is a lamination error. These are less common than die cracks, but still common enough. You may get a small premium over the market value from collectors who like these.
A die crack is an error caused by a... cracked die. A lamination error is caused by a weakness in the blank piece of metal, so it has nothing to do with the actual striking of the coin.
