jblack0815 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/10/2012 11:26 pm I need some help with a 1900, no H, Canada Large Cent. It almost looks too good and I would like help making sure it is not a reproduction. I've included a couple of pictures of the both the obverse and reverse. Under magnification I can see a die crack on the reverse, through the vine, above and slightly to the right of the O in one. Also, there is an odd raised area also on the reverse that starts at the E in ONE and curves down down to the 0 in 1900. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Terry-T Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 02/15/2012 5:40 pm Your coin is the H (Heaton Mint)type. Unlike the other H types, this one has the H at the rim, not right below the date. Most 1900 and 1901 cents are slightly concave on the obverse and convex on the reverse, leaving the queen's portrait with less wear than the other side. The bulge you see is caused by too much pressure from the obverse die, leaving an impression of the queen's chin between the 0 and the T. Your coin appears to have corrosion among the leaves, and since it's not the scarcer no H type, it's not worth getting certified. Worth about $3 with that corrosion. Report this Post to the Staff
