Searching a fu[[ box of 2022 P LSCs, I noted a Spiked Head crack in progress. I thought it might be interesting to share the stages with the group.

Stage 1 - crack starts at the rim to top the R

Stage 2 - crack runs down the backbone of the R into the field

I enjoy seeing these progressions, ya never know how long/big the crack will get before the die is retired.

Thanks, all, for the nice comments. The entire bank box of 50 rolls are all 2022 P uncirculated, so I do not expect to find the crack stretching further into Lincoln's head. Hopefully a collector will find a more advanced stage in the wild.

This box also had a spike through the W already listed on Cuds.

I haven't opened the last 40 rolls after the announcement of the penny cessation. Not sure what to do with them.
