Lot Description

1838 Modified Matron Head Cent. N-4. Rarity-2. Noyes Die State A. MS-67 RB (NGC). A frosty medium orange specimen with golden tan highlights and with definitely more "R" than "B" in the equation. A visually enchanting cent with bold luster and an equally bold strike, though from somewhat stressed dies. Absolutely, a coin that withstands careful scrutiny admirably and is truly deserving of the grade. Don't miss this one!
