My pleasure. I posted the 1882H before in this forum but it's been too long I think, I can't locate it so I'll repost the pics here. The first 2 are from a scan, the others are photos.
Just to save some comments, the white you see in and around letters, numbers, leaves etc is not from a cleaning. It is the silver from the coin as the toning doesn't go all the way up to there. Just like on the 1936 above around the diecrack if you look at the very bottom of the wreath, it's like that. I thought it was paste residue from a past cleaning but under a digital microscope, I can clearly see the silver coin and No residue. At least I'm 99% sure that's what it is. It's always good to leave some room for doubt.
