SKH-1c-2017P-10 Spiked Head

Description

Reaching the tenth documented spiked head from the 2017 Philadelphia Lincoln Shield Cent, SKH-1c-2017P-10 marks a milestone that places 2017-P among the elite dates in the modern spiked head catalog. A ten-entry sequence from a single date-mint combination demonstrates that portrait-area die cracking was not an isolated event in 2017 Philadelphia production but a recurring phenomenon across the die population. For collectors who pursue date-specific completeness, ten varieties represent an ambitious but structured collecting goal—substantial enough to require sustained effort but finite enough to feel achievable. The tenth entry also carries symbolic weight as a round number that invites reflection on the community effort required to reach it: ten discoverers or teams of discoverers, ten separate submission and verification processes, and ten confirmed attributions entered into the Cuds on Coins database. Each entry is a node in a research network built by the collaborative effort of variety specialists. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
