Hinkle Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 By just looking at the coin, it didn't seem to go from the rim to Lincoln's head. But I used the scope and it does. Looks like there was a smudge in between. What do you all think, does this one count as a spiked head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pull about a dozen of them out of rolls in a day or two. That is obviously a die crack going from Lincoln's bust/head . And through his hair .Machine doubling and die cracks are two different things. I was just making sure with the smudge that brakes it off in between still counts.

Greenstang Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That might be an early stage spiked head but I don't t think it is prominent enough to count. You shouldn't have to put it under a scope to see it. Probably after a few more strikes it would be large enough to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_OldeTowne Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I'd agree that it's a minor die defect. Considering the billions upon billions of Lincoln cents, this kind of quality anomaly is bound to slip through the mint just based on the "law of large numbers".
