Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 7:59 pm @ctt, when there are die cracks that connect to Abe's head (a common location), we call them "spike-heads" here on CCF. I haven't heard the term "horned head" before, but that seems to be an analogous description.

CoinTheTerm Pillar of the Community United States 1161 Posts	Posted 09/30/2019 8:53 pm Hey Spence thanks for that, the reason this is horned head versus spoke is because there are actually two cracks going up to the rim versus one typically found on spike head. I will label it spike though if it's appropriate for the forum. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6112 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 03:00 am That's a very cool Retained Cud and spike head (it has attributes for both). I have found a number of these in various stages and conditions and always like the look of them. "devil horns" is a common name like "spitting horse" or "speared buffalo". Just a name tagged on by pop culture and not an official error name or anything. Edited by tropicalbats 10/01/2019 03:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
