Description
SKH-1c-1971D-21 is a spiked head on the 1971-D Lincoln Memorial cent, documented by Cuds on Coins on January 4, 2018. Attributed by Cuds on Coins, SKH-1c-1971D-21 closes the current catalog without foreclosing future discoveries: the 1971-D's enormous surviving population means additional spiked head varieties almost certainly exist on dies not yet examined by variety specialists. For the dedicated spiked head collector, completing a twenty-one variety set from a single date offers a self-contained numismatic challenge of considerable depth, requiring patient searching through quantities of a common-date coin to locate, identify, and correctly attribute each distinct crack variety.
