1971 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - SKH-1c-1971D-13 Spiked Head

Description

Thirteenth in the spiked head sequence for the 1971-D Lincoln Memorial cent, SKH-1c-1971D-13 was documented on December 26, 2017, continuing the late-December discovery surge that produced several new catalog entries in quick succession. The timing — multiple discoveries clustered around the 2017 holiday season — may reflect the reality that dedicated variety collectors often devote concentrated examination time during periods away from regular obligations, sorting through accumulations of coins with the sustained focus that spiked head identification demands. For variety specialists maintaining die variety inventories, accurate attribution at this depth in the catalog requires side-by-side comparison of the spike's angular departure from Lincoln's head against the reference photographs published for each numbered entry.
