dirtdiggler New Member Australia 20 Posts	Posted 07/13/2016 06:19 am Hi guys, I just found this ugly bugger, 1875H Penny After a quick browse on the interwebs, It seems it might be a "scarce" coin. I am wondering if it has any value even in this condition? The other side is about the same. Thankingly kindly Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17909 Posts	Posted 07/13/2016 1:45 pm 1875H is very scarce and I've seen specimens that are so worn that the date and mintmark are about the only features left. £13 seems about right. I used to have one that had two holes in it! My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/13/2016 8:47 pm I like seeing post like this .. gives me more coins to watch for. I wonder what the chance would be, that there might be coins like this sitting in foreign coin bins, in the United States. Report this Post to the Staff
dirtdiggler New Member Australia 20 Posts	Posted 07/13/2016 8:56 pm Thanks guys, any profit is a good one, although I don't think I will sell. I now have all three varieties of the 1875 penny. GR58 I think there would be a good chance of finding one sitting in a foreign bin. I found this in Australia for a couple of bucks, listed as just an 1875 penny. Report this Post to the Staff
dirtdiggler New Member Australia 20 Posts	Posted 07/20/2016 03:04 am I just received the coin in person. I have to say it's even better in hand than I thought after viewing the original photos (that I posted here) would you suggest I do anything to prevent the (red)verdgris from spreading? it is very thin and on certain angles you don't even see it. it pays to look close at ebay listings :) Edited by dirtdiggler 07/20/2016 03:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
