<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2914294, member: 22729&quot;]Since i didn&#039;t pick up much at the Baltimore show, I found this one on eBay and got it for a decent price. It&#039;s now known as my &quot;Baltimore Coin.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1827 Large Cent is worn with a nice even toning to it. The stamp is from a Webster, MA. machinist and blacksmith named Nathan Cody c1820s / 1840s., possibly a few years later. This would likely be the stamp he used in his machining business, as blacksmith marks generally have a different look to them. I would guess it&#039;s from the 1830s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, Cody was related to &quot;Wild Bill&quot; Cody in some way. About 10 examples of the counterstamp have been found over the years. Though a couple of small dings in the stamp, it&#039;s still easily readable, and a nice example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[ATTACH=full]704336[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
