The 1826 large cent had a healthy mintage and is among the more available Coronet Head dates. The coin circulated widely and is found in the typical grade range for the series: Good to Fine, with higher grades progressively scarcer. No dramatic varieties distinguish the standard-date 1826, though the 1826/5 overdate is collected separately.
