C. haseltoniana usually has yellowish/orange wool in the crown or areoles. As said previously it is hard to identify Copiapoa's whilst small.

Maybe somebody who grows many from seed can help?

Somebody suggested that the one I thought was haseltoniana is actually marginata. I actually would nearly say it is marginata indeed. I may need to whip out all of my cacti books to see if I can get any info.. also while searching for IDs I found that cacti field website have plenty of photos of seedlings, so will try go take a good look at all of the photos and compare to what I have. Thank you for your help Dave.
