Lot Description

1835 Matron Head Cent. N-6. Rarity-1. Small 8 and Stars. MS-64 RB (PCGS). CAC. The technical quality and eye appeal are superior for an example of this readily available die pairing. The satiny surfaces are warm gray-brown, and both sides retain plenty of original pinkish-red color in the protected areas around the devices. The obverse stars are blunt, not at all concerning in an example of this type, while the balance of the design elements are boldly to sharply defined. Traces of light carbon in the center of the reverse, on Liberty's neck and in the date are the only blemishes of note. Were it not for these minor features, this coin would likely have received a full Gem grade from PCGS. A lovely Choice example that is equally well suited for high grade type and variety purposes. Noyes Die State B/A. PCGS# 37088. NGC ID: 225S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
