<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jumpingrat, post: 211108, member: 4584&quot;]Like Daggarjon said without a picture it&#039;s mere conjecture. But from your description, and I&#039;m assuming that a &quot;spikelet&quot; is a raised area of metal on the coin and that it&#039;s identical or nearly so on several coins. It could be a die gouge, break or some other die damage. The wheat cents from the 1950&#039;s are pretty well known for a multitude of damaged dies. This was due to the (at the time) huge mintages which led to a decline in quality control as the mint struggled to keep up with the demand for coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>But without a scan or photo I am just guessing based on your description and It could be something completely different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
