silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 6:29 pm looks like a die crack, or retained die crack, to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 6:55 pm I agree die crack, but that is a little bit of an odd location. Does it go all the way pat Abe's collar and into his head?

Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 7:52 pm Spence, No, it stops right after the bubble (Die Chip) but has a little forked tail going north coming out of the Die Chip, but does not travel any further. Yes, I too though it was an ODD location? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 8:00 pm Ok good to know. If it had connected, then it would be a south-facing spike head. Maybe we can come up with some other catchy name for yours.

Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 8:03 pm Yea....that would be cool.....the last picture shows the head (chip) and a Distinct forked tongue? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 8:05 pm Ok yes right you have been calling it a fork-tongued snake all along--there you go.

Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3171 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 11:27 pm I think this qualifies as a Spike Head Sarge50, nice! http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-1950-1959/ Scroll down to SKH-1c-1952-05 for a similar one Edited by Tunnioc 09/30/2019 12:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 11:21 am @Tunnioc- So even if the 1952-05 doesn't Have the Die Chip at the northern end you think That is a Match because the tail resembles the 1952-05? I though it had to be EXACTLY as the classification picture? I do agree the tail is the same! Edited by Sarge50 09/30/2019 11:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
