Heres an image for you, hard to tell from your images http://www.silvertowne.com/p-22860-...er-spitting-eagle-ms65-ngc-country-label.aspx
Here a 1983-p Double Spitting Eagle, I was told from a dealer from pcgs, their tring to get this one done next for recognition
The Morgan already has a spitting eagle that looks better. I think they should try to be more original and call this a "drooling eagle". Chris
It's not a die break or a variety. It's the result of a die clash. If anything, it would be a mint error. However, clashes happen so often I consider them a stage in a die's life. That being said, I still think they are really cool and I keep the stronger, unabraded clashes I find.
OK, this "spitting eagle" is the result of a die clash? I don't see what part of the obverse die would have left this mark. On the other hand, if there was a die clash that resulted in a die crack then it is what it is - a die break. All that aside, what is there about this coin that makes it any more collectible than any other coin with a die clash or die break? There are thousands of coins with die clashes and or die breaks and those conditions do nothing for, or against the value. Except rim cuds which some feel detract from the value. So, is this "variety" worth the same as, or more than another quarter of the same year and mint and graded the same? And why?
It's Washington's throat line. See here: http://www.maddieclashes.com/adc-25c-1988-01/ The value is up to who's buying. Cute little names help raise the value I guess. Personally I wouldn't pay a premium because if you are patient, you'll find one eventually. But, a person really into clashes may pay a nice premium. It's up to the buyer.
Ngc & pcgs have decided to put the 1983-P spitting eagle on the map .. Thats what makes them worth an extra premium for them, almost like a cherry picker coin, always adds extra value when this happens .... From what I've seen, ms-65 are going for about 350.00 dollars ..
That should be called "The Level Headed Eagle". That's what we call a woman that snuff juice runs out of both corners of her mouth.
I had one in unc. It doesn't look much like the few pics others have posted, especially silver town's. But I believe I sold it for 50 on ebay. It was in a capital holder. I thought it was a die crack
