Lot Description

1817 Matron Head Cent. N-17. Rarity-4. 13 Stars. VF-25 (PCGS). Boldly toned in deep olive-copper, this is an overall boldly defined mid-grade example in an early date Matron Head cent. Hard and overall smooth in hand, the surfaces reveal only a single dull mark in the left obverse field and some ancient surface build up in the protected areas around the design elements on the reverse. The early and severe shattering of this reverse die almost certainly explains the scarcity of survivors of the 1817 N-4 pairing in today's market. Noyes Die State A/G. PCGS# 1594. NGC ID: 2252.
