Exactly. There are no H’s on those two pennies, or faces on Mars or images of Jesus in toast.

You might see a flying orange flying man-baby in london  complaining about us being late for the third world war  (well they were late for the first two weren't they?)

Interestingly, when I zoomed into your 1877 (no H) I can see a similar ghostly H. And it's in just about the correct position too.

And no, I don't really believe it's an H either, but the more I stare at it the clearer it becomes.

 

I have sinced found a few other coins with a ghostly H including another 1875.  If you look at the attached image there is an 8 a C and also some guys face  in the circle with long hair and a pointy nose any ideas who it is?

Blimey, I’m out of this one…where does it stop?

Come back Dr Larry, all is forgiven!

I guess what it comes down to is you! Is your search for the H on this date over? I strongly suspect it is not, in the same way I strongly suspect no one else would put that coin in their collection and tick the box.

BUT, as I said, a great post, with some decent miles put in on your part!

Well you could , but you would be deluding yourself.

This one aswell. Obviously the number is the wrong size also wrong position.
