aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1695 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 8:05 pm I found this 1982-P in a bank roll this afternoon. I think this qualifies as a "spiked head," no? At first I thought the line was a scratch. The break is on the obverse at the top. I assume the fuzziness on the reverse in the fields is due to die wear. Report this Post to the Staff

It's from over-use of the dies, the metal becomes stressed, Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 9:42 pm How far does the die crack run? It seems to go off the screen in the second close up, and it's lost in the shadow of the first close up. I don't see any Spike Heads listed on Jefferson nickels earlier than 1993 http://cuds-on-coins.com/u-s-coins-...spike-head/) so congrats on the new find. Now go submit it!

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 11:36 pm Now try to buy the Cud that matches it. A 1982 P nickel in that condition is a great find anyway. That link is great. Must be one of these ... before it completely broke away. http://cuds-on-coins.com/jefferson-...s-1980-1989/ Edited by TNG 04/01/2017 11:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
