Can you take a pic of where the neck truncation ends by the beads at about 7:00 by the clock, so you can see if it's rounded rather than pointed and how close to the bead that it gets. From the "N" alone, I'd say that it's an H, but the die was filled there. The neck truncation at the bottom will tell for "almost sure".

I can't see anything with the truncation that you sent. What I need is where Vickies neck comes down to something resembling a point just about on the beads. But I need to see the shape of the tip and how close it is to the bead.above the C in Canada.

A picture of the full obverse might help

msce0599, welcome! Based on the die crack at L10 from the denticle to the lower lobe of the leaf and then up to the bead line, I believe your coin is the same die that mine is from. I have a couple of these. Here are images from the rev and obv of the coin for you to compare. I think your H has been worn away. On this rev it was never very prominent, probably resulting from a filled die.   Edited by dan-in-crystal-lake

mcse0599, thanks for the full obverse. The die crack between AD in CANADA matches the one on the obverse I posted. Your coin and mine are the same die pair. It's a run of the mill 1876 with a worn away H on the reverse.

Yes, I agree with Dan, now that I can see the tip at the neck truncation. Yours is an Obv 1 (close to the beaded and sharp point). The trial or pattern piece has no "H" and is an Obv 1a (rounded and further from the bead). Since the coin doesn't appear to be that well worn .. it's about an F-15 of VF-20, normally you would see the mintmark, so maybe yours is filled.

That's what I was thinking; If I were to put it up for sale, what do you think it would bring?

If you were to put it up for sale, you wouldn't get much. It is a medium worn very common large cent. Since you are in the US, you wouldn't get more than a couple dollars. Give it to a youngster.

Thanks Okie and Dan for the help! Looking forward to more conversations in the future! I just recently got into Canadian Coins and Tokens, so I have lots of questions!

The dates on the circulation strikes came from a fully dated matrix with the H mintmark and are all the same, except for some minor re-punches in the working dies. The dates on "No H" coins (all specimen strikes) are completely different from those the circulation strikes. This coin is a circulation strike, as Dan noted.
