Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 7:38 pm Interesting. Question. What is the Cohen number and the web site address if there is one. I have a bunch of 1958's with similar looking conditions. Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 8:50 pm I am very new at collecting errors and can tell you what little I know. The Cohen index by Jean Cohen is classification of errors on pennies. He published a book "The classification and Value of Errors of the Lincoln Cent". I could not find a website listing his description of errors, but that does not mean there is not one out there. I got lucky and found a book online to buy. The book illustrates the different errors and he gave them each a number. There are several different "Spiked head" varieties and each is classified with a different index number. Some of these other guys would probably be more help or search this website...I am sure the answer is here somewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
