CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 04/15/2017 11:24 am Yes Die Deterioration Doubling on both sides. One clue is the "orange peel" look in the fields. It's also mushy as opposed to MD or DD. Find yourself a new well struck coin and you'll see the outside bays and the bays at both sides of the statue have extra lines along the columns, that is part of the normal design. If that's a crack over his head, it needs to run uninterrupted from the rim to his head to be a Spike Head. Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/15/2017 1:29 pm Not a spike head -- that's damage on the obverse. Die Deterioration Doubling on both sides, as noted by others. Especially prominent on the last digits of the date and the mint mark of cents. Some of the columns that you're focusing on are supposed to be doubled (or have a secondary column adjacent) as part of the design. The "doubled" ones are the two outermost columns and the ones one bay away from Lincoln. Report this Post to the Staff
