Nice Early Cent!
When i saw 1817 I was hoping you scored a 15 star variety,
Here's some info about the Matron Head Cent for you.
I'm sure there's more coming your way! HH

. . . congrats on the nice countermarked large cent . . . the IB countermark is listed in Gregory G Brunks book "Merchant and Prvately Countermarked Coins" on pp. 21-22 . . . it states that the IB countermark means 'Isle of Barbados' West Indies . . . let me know if you'ld like to sell it as I collect countermarked coins.
