SKH-1c-2010-05 Spiked Head

Description

Several years after the inaugural 2010 spiked head varieties were documented, SKH-1c-2010-05 was added to the Cuds on Coins catalog, extending the confirmed count for the first year of Lincoln Shield cent production. This later documentation reflects a common pattern in variety collecting: the most obvious examples are found and reported earliest, while subtler varieties accumulate more slowly — the gap between early 2010 discoveries and this later entry may represent coins found but not yet submitted, or coins only recently examined with sufficient care to confirm spiked head attribution. SKH-1c-2010-05 carries no cross-reference to other catalogs and no PCGS number, placing it squarely within the community-documented category where Cuds on Coins is the sole formal reference. The 2010 Lincoln Shield cent has become a widely held modern variety coin with its Bicentennial series context keeping collector demand active; a spiked head variety adds numismatic interest beyond the design novelty for those interested in both modern Lincoln cent issues and die variety collecting.
