  Like it says earlier, that is the original coin, with the edges cut off. Will make pictures in a moment ...

lol I didn't even pick up on that. You have a good eye, I don't think I would have recognized that.   :)

 On that link I gave earlier, the 1891 coin shown does not have the H mintmark (for Heaton in Birmingham, England) below the date, whereas your 1876 (and 1881/1882/1890/1898/1900) was made there.  :wiz:  :)
