Found this the other day while doing some gardening. It was maybe 6-8 inches down and absolutely covered in crud, so I'm not at all surprised with its extremely worn condition. (Especially considering it's over a century old. Who knows how long it was in the ground!) What is surprising though, however, is that odd "H" imprint on the right side. It's much larger than any mint marks I've seen, as well as any designer initials either, such as the V.D.B. on the 1909 version. All my searches on this so far have come up with nothing at all.
So, any ideas?
Maybe some guy back then just wanted to leave his initial on a circulating penny..sort of like you see today with ppl writing on paper dollars? That's my best guess. Any input will be much appreciated!
