"Spiked Head" Lincolns

BuffaloIronTail

I'm going through a roll of 1970-D Lincolns. I'm surprised at how badly and hurriedly they were made.

There's no real good ones, the strikes are real mushy, flow lines, die polish galore.

.........

But I did find two "Prisoner" and three "Spiked Head" error/ varieties in the roll.

The "Spiked Head" coins are neat - the crack going from the rim at 11.00 and all the way through Lincoln.

As a general rule, being UNC varietry error coins, what do these sell for?

I'll guess maybe $1.00 a coin....what do you think?

Yea, and Russ........before you post it .......................

MODERN CRAP.

GEE.......................

No one replied to this post......not even RUSS......

I'm hurt.

Maybe I should have titled it "Birthmark Spiked Lincoln"

or maybe

"I found a VAM-22A Spiked Lincoln today"

or

"The price of silver has just gone up, and my Spiked Lincoln has just gone down"

No.......Frank Zappa might reply from the next world and sue me.

Maybe I better just

SHUT UP.

It's actually very common to find branch mint cents from 1969-1971 in either exceptionally nice quality or exceptionally low quality in original rolls and bags. Other things that are very common in this era are machine doubling, clash marks, and genuine errors. I would venture to say that finding a clipped planchet cent is more common in this era than in any other part of the series. Not sure why, just my observation.

Welcome back CC!!!!!!

Back to the question at hand.....there are just too many of the clash variety in the '70's to really distinguish the collectability of them at this time.....far too many....
