    I saw this today, it may not be worth anything over 1 cent But I think it is cool

    Is this kind of thing caused by die polishing, die crack or die scratch?

    I'm struggling to see the spike. If you could kindly take a picture straight on of the coin and a little closer, it would help. If you're talking about that swath across the top of her face, I think that's just some toning from something it came in contact with.

    I see something coming off the bottom part of the hair. If that's it, it's not a spiked head. A Spiked head has to extend to rim. At least that's how it works with Spiked Head Lincolns.

    Hahaha, Funny because it can't be seen with the lighting in the photo but the spike goes all the way through his head and out the other side!
