paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 11:43 pm This 1826 Large Cent is in decent shape. It has a counterstamp: J.H.B. on the obverse. The 2x2 that this coin came in has to be at least 30 years old, so this is fresh material. Thoughts on a grade (notwithstanding the counterstamp?) The fingerprints do not show up in hand. They do in photos and strong light -- I attempted to remove it with acetone, and again with Verdi-Care, and had zero success, so it is a very OLD fingerprint that is permanently toned into the surface.
