Silviosi Found this reference listed as a Spikehead SKH-25c-1996P-03 on Cuds-On-Coins. Very close to mine! Regards!

Congrats on the new spike head. Both of those dies were ready for the scrap bin. Silviosi, you have a lot of knowledge that you share but I don't understand why you say this isn't a 25c spike head. Quote:
...You catch my meanning. Congrat. Silviosi, I don't catch your meaning. Allcoinsaregood does have a new 25c spike head as defined on Cud-on-coins. http://cuds-on-coins.com/spike-head/From Cud-on-coins: 'U.S. Coins with "SPIKE HEAD" All "SPIKE HEADS" will have a die crack from the rim into any portion of the bust. It shall be limited to die cracks found on the obverse of the coin. The designation SKH will identify this type of die crack...' Quote:
...Nothing special then both sides has Dies cracks, No Spike no rim to rim. A spike head can have other die cracks and the designation isn't negated if it has other die cracks, even on the reverse. A spike head doesn't have to be rim to rim, but it must be from the rim to some part of the bust on the obverse. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Is there also one through the L to the forehead, and right of the 6 from the bust to rim?

Kbbpll, you are correct, the one across the L is a scratch because you can see the furrow and the build up of debree from the scratch. The light Die Crack to the right of the 6 from the bust to the rim, I totally missed it. Congrats for the good eye!

Looking at it again the crack at the date might go across the bust from rim to rim.

AllCoinsAreGood-
You can look at the Cuds-on-coins site to see how to submit images of your coin to have it listed.
(JC Stevens is the person who would know, but it's up to you if you want to pursue the listing.)
