OldJoeClark Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 04/28/2017 08:06 am cookiemonster, I can't get any closer with my camera than what you see here. That area is darkened and my loupe is not strong enough to let me see what is going on. Even with very bright light, looking from one side, it appears the break gets thinner and goes to the rim but from another angle, it looks like it doesn't. I need to get a glass with higher magnification. Thanks to you all for your comments. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/28/2017 10:58 pm OldJoe, Most of the 1983 Spike Heads go right to left, with the notable exception of two that go left to right like yours. However those two come from GOD (take that as an omen if you will) and yours does not. I'd say you have a new one and should ping JC with a link to this thread for him to have a look.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/29/2017 3:14 pm That is the good one; and on the reverse as well. I like how the crack goes through the A and then heads NW to the memorial. Spike Heads you should send to JC Stevens :) Edited by CoinCents 04/29/2017 3:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
