jflett Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 got an 1882 penny without the h on date is it a rare coin ? Quote
scott Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 without the H, i believe is rarer then the one with, in poor/fair probably not much value wise still though. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Most importantly, in poor-fair the H wears away, so it's most probably an 1882H. Quote
Red Riley Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 without the H, i believe is rarer then the one with, in poor/fair probably not much value wise still though.An 1882 without the H is immemsely rare, but as Chris mentioned, the H tends to get rubbed off and what's more, it is not unknown for naughty people to remove it for personal gain. According to Michael Gouby, there are between 11 and 50 genuine coins in existence, so it is very unlikely that what you have is a real 1882 no H. Sorry. Quote

Dg43 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Still worth checking if it really is a 'no H', as they go for big money even in 'good' (ie very poor condition).If it is, get it slabbed by CCI.David Quote
jflett Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 question [slabbed by cci] enlighten me please as the meaning,& my digi camera cant do macro,but ill ask my mates to take one & post it asap,jf. Quote
Dg43 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 question [slabbed by cci] enlighten me please as the meaning,& my digi camera cant do macro,but ill ask my mates to take one & post it asap,jf.What this means is, getting it verified and graded, then encapsulated - by CGS (coin grading services). I know I mistakenly referred to them as CCI, who sell slabbed coins.If you look for the H under high magnification that should be a start. I agree that it is unlikely to be a 'no H'David Quote
jflett Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 thanks looked up slabing under old posts .should ave done that to start with ,will try the microscope on the date letter.jf Quote
