1882 NO H Penny

[absence of uniformity]

I finally got around to taking better images which represent my coin. Still cant get my head around finding this as cheap as I did unattributed.

As I have not been posting here about my finds I now have a backlog of finds to add to my collection taking photos and sharing here found some amazing coins unattributed.

Thanks. Supposedly only one example better than fine in LCA archive since 2003.

Excellent, still can’t believe it  

Well done, a phenomenal acquisition. I wish hammered varieties were as profitable. 👏👏

I’d be leaving that somewhere where it could acquire a rich, deep, even brown tone.

Thanks ! In the hammered coinage there must be some varieties that command the higher premiums? 

For this coin I think it was mostly right place right time with alot of luck. It kind of fell into my possesion. Initially I did not find the variety, I found the coin then researched the varieties for the type. This was my first find and possibly the best to date.. You can see why and how I become totally consumed by penny varieties.

Then shortly after the 1877 F90. Since then I have found many decent coins but not quite of the same calibre of those two. It was enough to be hooked for life and invest more time to learn all I can. I feel now I have run out of avenues for prospection, I find myself looking over the same coins for sale.

Its come a long way already, I have been leaving the coin in direct sunlight with fresh air flow sat on a manilla envelope. In less than 6 months it has already taken on alot of toning.
