1959 D LMC Unlisted Spike Head

I'm posting a new spike head I found. It is unlisted as far as I can tell.

Had to look extra closely but I see it. Early stage?

 

It must be. You can see the large crack that it is an extension of. If you click on the photo it should enlarge. Thanks for the feedback.

 

My old eyes see what looks like a scratch, just like the one going from the U to the forehead, but then I seldom see what you can.

 

I am certain the indicated one is a crack extending from the crack in the skull. And, like you, I am certain the one from the Forehead to the U is a scratch. If you click on the photo it will enlarge and you can easily see how it extends out from a larger/longer die crack. Thanks for the feedback.

 

Another cracked skull variety. Poor Abe.

 

Retained die crack in the head

 

This 1946 Lincoln seems to have more than one die crack. Question: are these worth anything in BU condition and or to send to grading?

 

Edit

 

I think they are neat to find, nice to have and worth very little. So grading them would be a big waste. You’d never recover the costs to do so.

 

Yes, fun to discover them. Thanks for this feedback.
