MrBub New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 02/25/2024 10:12 pm I googled up this coin and found spitting eagle. Most of what I saw online were not so nice spits! :)— this one here is straight out his beak. Though I'd share. I'm searching thru many saved cans/coin throughout the years.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 08:49 am Can you post up a better (in focus) closeup image please? I thought that the 'spitting Eagle' is a result from a die clash. I don't see how that mark can be a clash. Is that feature raised or incuse? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 10:59 am Hard to tell what's causing this. Could be a die gouge or just damage. However, what it definitely is not is what is typically called a "spitting eagle," which is a die clash that looks nothing like this. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 12:36 pm Could be a Die Gouge. We'll need much better in focus images, to be sure. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
MrBub New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 9:00 pm Trying to take a better pic. Difficult with size restrictions. This can be felt. I ran a toothpick over it. It is on the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 10:14 pm Still hard to tell, but I'm leaning damage. Is it incuse or raised? Report this Post to the Staff
MrBub New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 10:59 pm It is raised. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/27/2024 12:10 am Entirely raised, or some material has been displaced from a gouge and raised up around it? The latter is what it looks like to me, but the pictures aren't great. Report this Post to the Staff
