Your photos have way too much contrast. We should be able to see details for ourselves. Edited by merclover 10/29/2021 12:08 am Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 10/29/2021 06:06 am GF's assessment is the same as mine. A cracked skull is when there is just a die crack on the head, and doesn't reach a rim. A spike head is if it does reach the rim. Anyway, nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
