bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24192 Posts	Posted 02/19/2014 07:54 am I received a note about this through the site, can anyone shed some light on this? Quote: I was reading your info under 1876H coin facts. I believe there is a 1876 (no H) Specimen coin. It could be classified as a C1a variety. My question is, How rare is it?

nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 02/19/2014 08:43 am There is indeed a 1876 speciman cent with no H (since it was not made at Heaton mint) Here is a link to a discussion, scroll down the page. Some may debate which obverse it is exactly, but I will leave that to the experts. You will note there is also a speciman 1859 cent pictured above.

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 02/19/2014 6:55 pm Quite a few more than the 1876 (no H). I would guess maybe 20 or 30. I picked one up in 64 for $1,000 a few years ago. My 1876 (no H) was multiples of that. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner.
