merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 9:10 pm Your contrast is set too low. I don't see where the crack connects to the head (thus a "Spike Head") Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 9:22 pm I don't see a crack at the head, but the one at the bottom is nice. Not a Cud though. It is strange that the 'chips' on the coin look incused, but how can that happen? did the planchet break and have those 2 pieces fall off? Collecting since 1972.

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 07:47 am Just curious. ( If ) a die chip includes the field and rim? The crack on the bust running to the rim is the "Spike Head" Edited by RobO411 12/20/2021 2:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
gorham_collector Valued Member United States 426 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 2:43 pm He's getting spike head from Cuds on coins any "spike head" which is a die crack anywhere on the coin connected to the rim ofc is called that. Idky that's just how it is attributed as SH (spike head) Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 12/21/2021 10:17 am You're right gorham. Cudsoncoins has it as. A crack from any part of the bust connecting to the rim is a Spike Head. It was strange to me also, saying Spike Bust sounds odd to me also. It's different also if a crack starts say from the rim next to WE goes down through the bust and ends up at the rim below the bust that's considered two different Spike Heads. Thanks everyone for looking and comments. Report this Post to the Staff
