- 1819 Matron Head Cent. N-9. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State B. Small Date. MS-63 RB (PCGS). An overly of light glossy brown iridescence hardly inhibits vivid, virtually complete, orange red luster. The strike is sharp save for where lapping of the dies has effaced the denticles -- the diagnostic feature of Noyes Die State B for the 1819 Newcomb-9 cent. There are no distracting blemishes, and the eye appeal alone is suggestive of a near-Gem grade. This is another Randall hoard variety, although not as plentiful in today's market as either the 1818 N-10 or 1820 N-13.
