1819/8 1C N-1, Large Overdate, BN MS (PCGS#36658)

March 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1819/8 Matron Head Cent. N-1. Rarity-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Deep tan and brown gives way to deeper steel-brown on the obverse, while the reverse is deep tan. This nearly Mint State cent is glossy with pleasing luster remaining. A small spot of verdigris is seen near star 3 under magnification. A fairly dramatic triple profile extends from the forehead to the chin, making this an ideal specimen for collectors of this interesting sub-specialty. Some flowlines have begun to develop, but the early state spine on star 13 is visible and no rim crumbling is evident. Very satisfying overall. Noyes Die State A/A. Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier ex Abe Kosoff's sale of the Lee G. Lahrman Collection, February 1963, lot 303; Roy E.
