1882H British Bun Penny - the 'H' mintmark is for the Heaton Mint in Birmingham. 1882 pennies without the H are extremely rare!

GR58- FYI, NFLD minted the $2.00 Gold Coin for 8 different years between 1865 & 1888. Buy the way, nice Carson City Morgan.

Quote: That Newfoundland gold coin is very nice. I agree!  Here's my 1882-O dollar. Not my best Morgan, but the one that started it all! Given to me when I was 17 by an American schoolteacher who was a colleague of my Mom's.

1882 ITALY 20 LIRE:  This is my only non-USA gold coin. Not nearly as appealing as that Newfie !

I think the $2.00 was the only gold coin for Newfoundland. Apparently, they were made in England. This is one of the two most common years, which are 1882H and 1888. Interestingly, these coins have slightly more gold than two US $1 coins. They are pretty cheap, but the premium is a bit too high to be considered a bullion coin. The Canadian gold coin I'd like to get is the $10.00. Fortunately, a big hoard was recently released from Government vaults, so they aren't terribly expensive or rare these days.
