All 1876 pennies were produced by the Heaton mint so all have an 'H' below the date. If you have an 1876 without the H, you might like to post a picture. Most likely it has simply worn off or been removed.

Like you, I thought that the 1876 was H only, but according to Chris Perkins et al, there is an 1876 no H ~ link here

I'd certainly never heard of one before, and it is a total surprise to me. I only discovered it whilst looking for the respective values of wide and narrow date 1876H's.

The source is "Bamford" 2006.

A picture of that coin is in Gouby's book, but he states that Bamford thought it to be filled H rather than a London mintage

That makes sense. Thanks David.

The fact that it raised less than 1/10 of the value of a narrow date 1877 in similar condition in the same sale, would rather indicate - especially as it would be unique - that no-one was very confident about this coin. In fact, if it hadn't been Bamford, would it even have sold?

Not to labour the point, but as far as we know there is no such thing as an 1876 penny not produced by the Heaton mint. Are you suggesting that you have one, or just wondering what one might look like should such a thing exist? If you do have one we would be very interested to learn more. If you don't; then that's fine.

Could we have a picture or a scan please?

If it is a no-H that means it's close to undocumented.
