Description
SKH-1c-2013D-01 is a Denver Mint spiked head on the 2013 Lincoln Shield Cent. This variety was cataloged by Cuds on Coins on March 12, 2024. Like every spiked head, it began as a crack in the obverse die running from the rim into Lincoln's bust, which fills with metal during striking. The resulting raised spike on Lincoln's portrait is diagnostically unique to the die pair involved, with the D mintmark providing definitive facility attribution.
