Looks a lot different, HUH?
Title: Spiked Head Post by: longnine009 on August 18, 2008, 07:19:58 PM http://www.knightsofthecointable.com/kotctgallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2387 The link is to a AU 1958D Lincoln with a Spiked head and also a cracked skull that the spike leads from. I paid a grand total of $7 for it. Not too bad huh? Imagine what it would have cost had it been Wild Eyes spike Morgan, VAM 14.11 I believe? Few people are aware that Jean Cohen cataloged over 6,000 Lincolns with die cracks and breaks back in 1967. She didn't use too many photos with it. She mostly used a Rubber Margood stamp of a Lincoln cent and drew in the cracks and breaks. Margood was a line of error products produced by Arnie Margolis and Mort Goodman. This cent was cataloged as JC58D-79a. She used a system of degrees for spiked heads. The "T" in Trust was designated as 75-80, 75 at the left side and 80 to the right side of the horizontal bar. This spike is slightly inside the right side of the T. The "a" is for early stage progression. In the later one the crack skull starts coming out of the back of Lincolns skull. Poor Abe, the only breaks he ever got were die breaks. |
