1829 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-2. Large Letters. MS-62 BN (NGC). This lovely Mint State example is toned in warm burnt-orange and coffee shades with a dark area of toning at the stem on the reverse. Satiny luster looms in the protected areas and complements the overall glossy complexion. A few trivial ticks are visible at Liberty's forehead under magnification, though the surfaces are otherwise without marks of note. Die cracks link the leftmost and rightmost stars in a progression matching Noyes Die State C/B. Provenance: From the Paradise Collection.
