F3H was not available to the general public, and along with F3/P, it was only available to NPS members and institutions. F3/T which was a regular production model was recently delisted from Nikon's Japanese catalogue, and they have officially announced that F3/T is no longer in production. So, Nikon's F3 production is now trimmed to F3 with DE-2 finder, and F3HP with DE-3 finder. It is possible that Nikon USA is no longer importing F3s from Japan for distribution to consumers, and that's what you might have heard. Nikon USA still lists 300/2 and 2000/11 lenses in the catalogue, but these were discontinued almost two decades ago.
