Colorado Coins New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 06/20/2021 2:36 pm Found this while coin roll hunting; it does not seem to be zinc blistering. In this condition, do you think it would bring any premium if it's a spike head. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/20/2021 3:01 pm I personally would not pay a premium regardless of condition for a "spike head", IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 06/20/2021 4:38 pm Nice long die crack spike head you have there. I'd throw it in a 2x2 and keep it if it were mine. I appears to me that there is a second die crack to the west of the large one. Can't tell if that one is a scratch or not but it looks as though it extends from the rim, through the E in WE and into the relief of the hair. Pretty neat, if so, but like it has already been said, only a die hard collector of these things may pay just a very small premium, nothing worthwhile IMHO. Edit: Be sure to check the Reverse of the coin. Being a 1999 Linc, make sure you don't have a Wide AM ( WAM). Odds are minuscule it is but they are out there to be found.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2021 4:48 pm Exposed zinc on that area. The clock is already counting down on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
