Lot Description

1833 Matron Head Cent. N-3. Rarity-1. MS-65 BN (NGC). Iridescent medium and steel-brown patina is seen on both sides. The reverse retains original pinkish-orange mint color in the protected areas around some of the design elements. All focal features are sharp, the borders a bit soft due to die state. Hard, satiny and otherwise smooth, a shallow flan flaw (as made) at star 8 on the obverse and a small carbon spot above the letter N in CENT are noted. This is a pleasing NGC-certified Gem Mint State quality example of the Matron Head large cent design type of 1816 to 1835. Noyes Die State B/B. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS# 1696. NGC ID: 225P. Click here for certification details from NGC.
