<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 45352, member: 1859&quot;]I don&#039;t favor nicknames myself, as they tend to obscure the nature of the error.&nbsp; A die gouge should be called a die gouge, clash marks should be called clash marks, die cracks should be called die cracks, die dents should be called die dents, etc.&nbsp; Adoption of a nickname by the collecting public has more to do with hype than significance.&nbsp; The &quot;speared bison&quot; die gouge is by no means unique.&nbsp; I have several Lincoln cents with identical defects that are even stronger.&nbsp; But they&#039;ve not been tagged with a nickname.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
