Looking at the Coins and Canada site I see they have a Newfoundland one cent 1882H listed, I have them all but this one seems to be invisible...lol  |

I use another website to keep track of my entire collection. They have a really good catalogue of coins and I have rarely come across a situation where the year/variety I want to add isn't already on there. I checked there and they don't seem to have that one listed. They just have a bunch of varieties for 1880 and then it goes straight to 1885.

I did a bit of checking on this one and from reports of a couple of auctions they were in, the wording was accompanied with the word (Rare). I know that word is overused in many cases but it seems so in this case. The mintage for the year seems to be 200,000, now I wonder if there was an overlap of some 1880's put into those 1882 stats?!

As far as I know, there were no 1882 Newf one cent coins. 1880 and the 1885. Griffin also does not list one. It's not the first time that C and Canada site has been wrong. I've sent them at least 8-9 corrections for their listings.

and in some reading I did on these there was an auction house that listed one for sale stating it was rare, can't find that site now lol. Confusing and frustrating lol.

Pretty hard to take a picture of a coin that probably doesn't exist. I think C&C might have made a mistake. Look under their ebay sales and they don't list any NFLD penny between 1880 & 1885. Even that most reliable source of information, Wilkpedia does not list one under "NFLD penny mintage". I cannot find any other source of information that has one listed. |

Jimmy: I hope that you were being sarcastic when you mentioned Wikipedia and reliable in the same sentence. That's like saying that Leno, Letterman, Bill Mahr or Fox News as being true.

Of course I was.
I was trying more for humour but I guess it came across
as sarcasm.

I must have been wrong in what I found about the 1882H, I've looked extensively to find where I read that in an auction report and can't find it anywhere. My mistake Shafta, sorry bout that.

No problem MD, I didn't think there was one anyway.. I guess it was a printing error on the C & C site, it just looked funny when I seen it the prices were extremely high too. |
