1882 NO H Penny

[BronzeVF]

Hi I have just joined the forum because I would like to ask a question concerning the 1882 No H penny.

If a coin has all the details below and no Heaton mint mark is it certain to be a London minted coin?

Obverse:

- R & I don’t touch.

- the tuft of hair which is not on the Heaton minted examples.

- The hair ribbon which does not terminate in a point like the heaton coins.

- Victoria has a hooked nose compared to the straighter bridge of the nose displayed on the Heaton coins.

Reverse:

- 186 border teeth with 13 teeth between 1 and 2.

- thinner waist/ trident shaft.

many thanks in advance.

One thing that stands out is the date width as should be 14 Teeth ( NOT 13 ) and also the possibility of the last digit being altered from a 3.

Maybe post clear pictures as there is a lot more knowledgeable collectors on here than me and will be able to give there opinion.

Yes, there is no substitute for pictures of the actual coin.
