    2017 P Spiked Head

    Found this one. It also has a nice more common die crack on the reverse which can be used as marker.
    Thanks for looking.

    That's a nice spike head cent Adrian! Did you see if it is listed? Looks like you are having the same problem a lot of us are having with pics being overly saturated with color. The Shield cents can be one of the hardest to get good pics of! Do you think it could be from too much light?

    Holy cow Adrian!! If I'm seeing correctly, there are four or five spikes there. I thought the reverse crack was a listed UDC but the one I was thinking about was a 2015P. Take your time and get some good pics together for JC and you may get a multiple listing Spike Head and possibly a UDC!!

    Jon has his Jim glasses on! I'm not seeing the other spikes, but in the 4th pic I see an outline of a W next to the W of WE. Dropped letter?

    Nice spike and rev crack... I think there is a spot of some sort in the spike area making it appear to have more than is actually there!!!

    Well, Jon there is what i think is a couple more spike heads to the West; but I considered them too weak to be of importance... The pics below show the area. The rest you mentioned I don't see; but you are welcome to download the images mark them and show us. Imho the rest like Jim said, are just stains...
    Viv, I don't see the dropped W... not even using Jim's glasses ...
    Thanks to all.

    The others I thought I saw may be stains but check out the other two I've marked up besides the obvious one at the "E". I could be wrong but sure looks like cracks to me. Maybe try cleaning it up with a soak.

    Adrian, it's probably just pareidolia but can I download your 4th image and show you where I see the W?

    This must be the psychological phenomenon of group pareidolia (pair of doilies) 'cause I see the cracks John (A.K.A. Jon/makecents) has pointed out Jon could very well be correct on multiple cracks... I do see some in the hair but not 100% sure??? I still can not see the W... Hopefully Vivien can point it out for us??? I wondered how come my glasses weren't working so well lately Every one else is using them

    Great, this thread has been reopenned thanks to Jim, so we can continue with the debate.
    Viv, yes of course you can download the images, mark what you see and show us your finding about the dropped W. That will be new kowledge at least for me.
    Jon, looks like you are correct on the multiple cracks, I saw something there also, but thought they were too light... When you and Jim agree, it has to be it... specially when you use Jim's glasses...
    Jim, your glasses are still working fine, don't worry.
    Thanks to all
    Adrian
