Here's one I need to send to Cuds-On-Coins for 'Spike Head' authentication. I submitted it a few years ago and was asked for better images and then I forgot about the coin.

The color in the images is correct, it's a nice coin with subtle golden toning and looks Mint State to me. It has fairly strong Machine Doubling to the East of the portrait, neck, braid and feathers. Do you see it as a Spike Head die crack or is it too weak?

I need to dig out the coin and I'll use both my DSLR imaging setup and scope (no screen shots ) for the new shots and post them when I get them done.

All comments welcome on the die crack and the possible grade.

I'd say it counts. Nice Spike Head.

Looks like it to me.

And I don't see any traces of wear on it at all and a fairly early die state.
A little weakness at the rim @ LIB but overall, a pleasing coin. I'm going out on a limb with ms 65-66.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
