  I agree with 1817. The countermark is what adds value to an otherwise cull coin. Fortunately, the countermark is very clear.

  All glory is fleeting.

  Clear 1817. The "181" is obvious and the type was not made in 1811.

  Well Ms. Large Cent, I hear @wev is a really swell guy. And with you being born in 1817 and all I don't think he's looking for kids. I'm sure he has a lot to offer and can provide you a really good home too. No offense Ms. Large Cent but with your looks I'm not sure you've got a lot more options. May the LORD B with you.

  That's all I got.

  Let us know how your date goes wev.

  It also has the "old" head which was only used 1816-1817 and part of 1818.
