Good will and health for everyone all year round for me Bob. Hope you had a really good birthday . Take care and have a fantastic christmas and as i always say and mean keep smiling. Only my opinion on the above post and would never share the seller on an open forum. Pete.
I would be 100% happy bidding for the LCA 1882, if I wanted it. It is possible that no H pennies exist with obverse 12 but until a high grade one turns up, I am not convinced. A few have turned up with Obverse 12, with no H showing. I have never been that enthusiastic that I have had the urge to bid.
That sounds about right - I suppose everyone has been too interested in finding a Freeman 192A for so long and didn't give this any more than a second glance. Except that it has a reverse which looks as tho it's F192A and they're generally spotted very quickly. It does give hope to us all that there are further varieties still to be discovered......
Funnily enough it's the same over here. Similar temperatures forecast tomorrow due to exceptionally mild air, coming up all the way from the vicinity of Madeira/The Azores.
Please see citation of US 1922 cent "no D". I guess my point is that besides there being numerous examples with interesting appearances in the location of where the H would be, I have heard of many being summarily dismissed because of the die pairing only - IMO, not good science or logic. That having been said, I quite agree a jaundiced eye must be turned to each claimed specimen and a high level of certainty be obtained before accepting it.
