Lot Description

1839 Modified Matron Head Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. Silly Head. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Bold olive-brown patina with suitably bold definition for the advanced die state. Satiny to softly frosted in texture and generally smooth, a few minor reverse spots and a slightly subdued appearance are all that seem to have precluded an even higher Mint State grade from PCGS. Noyes Die State C/B. Provenance: Collector envelope with attribution notation included. PCGS# 37231. NGC ID: 225Y. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
