Cool, that hole looks like it's been there for 123 years.

I have a special affinity for 1882-H pennies. Adore them, just 1882-H's though.

Okay, I have to ask, why the 1882 H cent? And, NoHope the only place that coin would look better is at my house! laugh.gif

I don't collect cents, pennies perhaps but we've never had cents.

An 1882-H was my first Victorian Penny, infact i think the only Bun head penny i ever owned was an 1882-H one.

It was my favourite of my first coins. So every one i see always takes me back to my days as a newbie.

(Not particularly all that good), i sold it with a whole ton of other stuff because the verdigris concerned me, i don't like verdigris much.

Well I am glad you cleared that up as I knew it COULDN'T be your birth year rofl1.gif Even the British can't last that long!
Guess I am like you when it comes to coins with cancer. Get rid of them in a hurry!

If I ever upgrade it then I will keep you in Mind crystalk64. I am spending the next day or two going over my UK Pennies which have been sitting in a shoe box where the were thrown 10 years ago when I moved across the pond. I am finding all sorts of stuff I had forgotten about.

Find one without the H......Rare or what.

1882 pennies are extremely rare. Which was another reason i liked my 1882-H it was only one letter away... biggrin.gif
