84.    1814 U.S. Large Cent countermarked "J. IGGETT" Albany, NY. According to Counterstamp expert and author Gregory Brunk, "John Iggett was listed as a tin man and metal worker in the 1826 Albany Directory (Michael McAllister). In 1827 he received a patent for Warming and Heating Rooms and in 1843 another for improvements in Machinery for Bending Metal Plates for roofing houses. From 1835 to 1840 he was a stove maker. He was mentioned in a number of early 1820s documents when he was the Assistant New York State Stealer; that office was in charge of accurate weights and measures. When he died in 1847, a newspaper account referred to him as "Capt. John Iggett." This is the second of two known pieces, the other was struck on an 1811 Large Cent.
