Grushna Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 5:29 pm Found this in a coin I purchased roll believe It or not so far I got a grade of Ms 62 so my question is the spike on the head does that add any value to this coin or is it just still face value. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97162 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 5:36 pm Not sure I would call it a spike head. just a minor die crack. Pretty common on Wheat back cents. Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 09/26/2021 6:43 pm @gru, sorry but I'm not seeing a die crack coming off of Abe's head toward the rim. Rather, I see a die crack in Abe's hair. If that is what you are talking about, then the nick-name we typically use is "cracked skull" rather than "spike head".
