[QUOTE="7Jags, post: 3355994, member: 78719"]Thought I would share this penny which is quite rare & followup with a bit of writeup:[ATTACH=full]888705[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]888707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]888708[/ATTACH] This coin is one of those that until recently was only rumored to have existed. Remick, who was pretty much the authority on such matters had never seen a currency "non H" 1882 Jamaica penny, excepting possibly the specimen/currency specimen which has now been graded by PCGS.
