Greetings CCF!! Found this 1996 P Washington quarter CRH long ego, but forgot about it. I was looking at Cud On Coins and can't find match for this one, so I believe is a unlisted Spike Head. What's your thoughts guys?

Definitely die cracks!
I though the reverse crack went into the wing and thought "how could that be" at first but then realized it was just a well placed circulation scratch Let me know if the "scratch" is raised - I may be wrong....

I agree. Generally speaking die cracks will be on the highest part of the die (the fields in this case). But there is a die crack over near UN as well.

Thank you Marve65 amd Spence! It is raised.

Please look at this SKH-25c-1996P-14 on Cud On Coins and you and you will see the similarity that has with this one, but it's not the same.

True, it does look similar but needs to be exact. Remember these varieties are from the same die so everything has to be in the exact same position on the coin. Some will have a progression as in "Earlier" and "Later" die states. Sometimes you can match up "Die markers" to also identify the variety.

Marve65 you get me wrong, I know is not the same, in my OP you can see that I put I can't find a match

I put this one as example because it has the same crack in front of the eagle. So you can see is not a scratch but a die crack. Mine I raised like the one listed on Cud On Coins please look at my last photo.

I have found a lot of different die crack in from of the eagle, so for me is not uncommon or unusual, but I find this one cool because it is going all the way to UN of United.

Thank you Dearborn and Errers and Verietys!!
