Lot Description

1817 Matron Head Cent. N-9. Rarity-2. 13 Stars. MS-62 BN (PCGS). CAC. An attractively original example with marbled gray-brown, sandy-gold and pale rose patina that is overall lighter on the reverse. Crisply impressed with sharp striking detail, both sides are a bit subdued to explain the assigned grade, yet pleasingly smooth in hand. The divided date is the most readily identifiable diagnostic of the 1817 Newcomb-9 variety. Noyes Die State A/B. PCGS# 1594. NGC ID: 2252. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
