It's not marked as such. Is this a spiked chin?

Photo is kind of dark but there appears to be a spike there.

I put it on my watch list. If I can snag it for a descent price, I'd like to get it. Not sure what that price would be for the condition it appears to be in.
Any thoughts? Could it be trickery of the camera to get the spiked chin look? Would you chance it?

I see the markers too--not just the chin, but the fields too. I won't bid against you, good luck!

I concur that this is the spiked chin variety. I see the gouges in the field on the right that are also characteristic of the variety.

I would take a chance on this.

I won't bid against you because I already have a spiked chin variety, even though this one looks a little nicer. Good luck

Just over 23 hours left on this one. It'd be pretty cool if someone here gets it.

That is a spiked chin variety, but it's a common Cohen variety of the spiked variety. The $112 that was paid is in line for what it's worth, warts and all.
