    Error Die Crack | Spike plus an extra 8?

    Found this in a roll last nite... Took a while to get the gunk off of it... Nice spike and what looks like an extra 8 under LIBERTY or my pair of doilies again The multi color toning does not appear to be natural... Looks like some one cleaned it at one time with a steam cleaner!!!

    Wow, it really does look like an 8! If it's not, it should go in Will's "paradeiola"(pretty sure I spelled that wrong-😆) hall of fame!

      I agree with Tracy...except for the spelling.


      Jim, I'm surprise you missed the S mint mark to the NW of the 8! Anyway, I am sure all of those tentacles coming off of the 8 are just a coincidence. It is clear to me what it really is. Please refer to the new photo. There, I fixed it.

        And yep, I see the "S" too...but check out the "D" right up against the middle-right of the 8 as well! ;)

                  Jim, ok if I use your images and list the Spike Head on COC?

                  Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

                      Jim, I have been drinking a bunch of eggnog, and I think it would be fun to sell this coin on ebay. It would be interesting to see what it might bring with an honest description, with a bit of salesmanship. Send it to me, and I'll split the proceeds with you. I am totally being serious here. It could be educational for all of us. There is a fairly large flying spaghetti monster following out there. We might score big. PM me.

                            My turn...
                            the evil bunny head?
                            the unicorn of mystery?
                            my nose?
                            and finally.....
                            LINCOLN IN PRISON?

                              Awesome, John! I see them all! This is one special Lincoln! Also, there is a squirrel under the unicorn. His head is between the legs.




                              I really need to merge this with the pareidolia thread. I haven't had this much fun since the 8th grade picnic!
