Huh, I'm not seeing the spike head crack (Unless you are talking about the die crack through the word 'Dollar'. and nice die crack on the reverse - at some point, I'm sure that became a Cud for someone to find. |

Dearborn--yes, of course that is a spikehead that runs through Dollar. Nice find RW1010!

Thanks Dearborn and mb560600. There may be a Cud that matches this out there somewhere. We'll just have to keep on looking |

Agree that reverse die crack would eventually lead to a Cud - if the die remained in service long enough. I agree with @Dearborn that the term 'spike head' to me implies a die crack starting at the top of the head, not the lower end of the bust. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Cuds-on-coins.com has listed as spike heads die cracks that start at the bottom of the coin, enter the bust area, and lead upward to the head. For example, see http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-1950-1959/ And a closer inspection of the OP's quarter reveals, to my eyes, that the die crack indeed leads up into the back of Washington's head.  |

No intent to start an argument here, but I beg to differ with your begging to differ (if you will) I looked at each one of the listings you presented from Cuds on coins. With each example the cent had a die crack from the rim at the top down to the head and beyond. It also showed on some a die crack from reh rim at the bottom up to the bust - BUT Cuds on coins are calling them as 'Die Markers' to help identify which spike head it is. |

A Spike Head can be anywhere on the obverse, as long as it's from the rim to the bust.

I think COC just lumped them all together and call them spike heads so they wouldn't have to have a separate column for, spike head, spike neck, spike shoulder. Makes a little sense.
