A question from south of the border

[dirtyJohn]

Hello cousins! I've found this 1876 large penny (H mint mark) in Illinois and was wondering how common are they? Any other info would be appreciated.

My very first pre-1900 coin in 2002 was one of these. Brings back fond memories!!

1876 is not worth much
better dates examples are 1858 1907 and 1911
