So I apologize for the lighting and resolution. I had trouble getting good photos. Any comments are greatly appreciated as always.

I'm counting a total of three die cracks and that one on the obv should qualify this for "spike head" status. Nice find!

Added: your overall pics are excellent—don't change a thing. Your close-ups seem to be slightly out of focus, but still quite usable.

It is the close ups that are not in focus. Are you focusing on the tops of the devices or on the fields? The fields is better, as the whole coin will be show a stronger clarity. Adjust the focus so you can see the field inside of a device. Try this and see if it helps. Full shots are clear. Do not use automatic zoom on your cameras. (because then you get what you get, not regular focus on the images)

Nice find! Anytime you find 3 separate die cracks on the obverse of a coin, that's interesting and collectable by some in the Community. Definitely worthy of a 2X2.
