<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8234484, member: 101855&quot;]Here is one of the few coins I kept from my half cent die variety collection that I sold many years ago. This is also a Spiked Chin, but it&#039;s the C-5 variety. There are four varieties with the Spiked Chin obverse and other reverses. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cohen thought this was the variety that was on the press when the obverse was injured. Some people think that it might have been a screw with the head making the spike and the threads creating the ridges in the field. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is cracked on this variety which may have happened when the dies came together with the coin blank and screw between them. </p><p><br /></p><p>NGC graded this coin EF-45 more than 20 years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1448275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1448276[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
