1969 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - SKH-1c-1969D-10 Spiked Head

Description

SKH-1c-1969D-10 is a spiked head for the 1969-D Lincoln Memorial cent. No specific discovery date has been published for this variety, distinguishing it from the other nine entries that each carry documentation dates ranging from January 2017 through December 2024. The absence of a date may indicate that this variety was identified during a retrospective catalog review or submitted without timestamp information. The Denver Mint's intense 1969 production schedule — part of the nationwide effort to rebuild coin inventories after the mid-1960s shortage — demanded rapid die turnover and high-speed press operation, both of which increase the opportunity for die damage that manifests as spiked heads. For collectors, the 1969-D spiked head set offers an accessible and visually rewarding specialty within the broader Lincoln cent die variety field.
