      Definitely not an H - as in all your pictures of the 1875H, the H is below the 7 and 5 whereas on your coin, the shadowy "H" is higher.

      You will have difficulty finding any die detail specific to the Heaton mint other than the letter ‘H’ as the working dies were prepared at the Royal Mint from their master dies and sent to Birmingham for striking. The Heaton mint did not develop their own dies. And don’t confuse differences due to die wear, depth of strike, clashed dies etc as differing varieties. It’s a potential minefield.   Jerry

      No, you need to expand the image in my post again. The point I was making is there are all kinds of bobbles and bumps in the fields of these coins. Also, I too can see an H, but feel it’s just a collection of anomalies that create the illusion of one. This probably represents the view of quite a percentage of those who said they could see one, which likely puts the percentile well into the NO camp. 😉 As you allude to, there are some very high-calibre and serious penny collectors on this forum (I’m not one of them), so you’ll  be in very good company with your intensity and approach to all this. Enjoyable post, thank you!

      Thats the arrow highlighting the location of the H    Thats's what caught my eye when I purchased it, then I noticed what I thought was a H. You are not alone its currently 50/50 split decision. Thanks

      1897 Penny - NGC calls these two High Tide, seems incorrect
