Description
Setting itself apart from the majority of 1971-D spiked head entries through an external cross-reference, SKH-1c-1971D-25 on the 1971-D Lincoln Memorial cent is independently documented as JCc-1971D-25, establishing that this variety has been identified and cataloged by at least two separate attribution sources. Cross-referencing between the Cuds on Coins spiked head catalog (SKH prefix) and the JCc catalog provides collectors with dual confirmation of the variety's existence and identity. Documented on January 26, 2018 by Cuds on Coins, SKH-25 records a die crack at Lincoln's head whose specific crack path and associated die characteristics were independently recognized by the JCc catalogers under their own numbering system. The convergence of two independent attributions strengthens collector confidence when authenticating specimens, since the variety can be verified against reference photographs from two separate published sources rather than relying on a single catalog.
