The 1881H SSNs is certainly a minor variety in the great scheme of things. My guess is it's from a partially-used 1876H obverse that was carried over.
That being said, it is an easily-recognizable variety, is listed in the standard catalogs and is well known to be really scarce -- all positives. So there are going to be people who want one badly and will pay up for one. How much is hard to say, but in my opinion two determined bidders could easily push your coin north of $1000. It's most unlikely that a hoard of them will ever turn up! And yours is a pretty nice one.

I'm sorry to resurrect this post but I have a question for papeldog. Just wondering if your coin has a doubled last 1 in date. Just looking at mine and noticed on my coin. I tried to message you but it won't allow me too. Sam  |

Sammeli, that may be a clash mark instead of a doubled 1. There is another topic on CCF that shows several similar clashes at the 1. It's on the first page of the thread near the bottom. http://goccf.com/t/327070&SearchTerms=1881 |

This brings up some interesting questions about the 1881 SSN.
Are there two different 1881-H reverse dies? (unlikely)
or
Are there two different die states of the same reverse die? (probably)
and
Is there an 1876-H or 1882-H reverse paired with the same obverse die?
It sure would be fun to compare high resolution photos of all of the known 1881-H SSN's.

Phil: The questions that you raise might have already been answered (kinda) by someone who has been doing what Haxby has done with the '59's and attempting it with the Vicky Obv 1's, 1a's, 1a/1's and 2/1's. I think that the info might be available, in some manner, in the next few months, who knows?. Also, I don't think that Sammeli was talking about his coin being a SSN ... at least the way I read it.
Yes, there are a number of '81 Reverses. The Reverse dies wore out/broke about 3-5 times the Obverse dies. I would estimate that there were 25-30 Obverse dies for '81 total (1 & 1a).

Jim: I don't think that my '81 had the die clash ... and what was the die clash from? What part of the Obv?
