Lot Description

1831 Matron Head Cent. N-3. Rarity-1. Medium Letters. MS-64 BN (PCGS). Radiant golden luster glows across this beautiful Choice specimen, illuminating the burnt-orange and steel blue patina that dusts the surfaces. The fields are incredibly smooth under inspection, failing to reveal any abrasions of note. The softness to the upper stars is typical of these dies, though the devices are otherwise sharp. A speck of dark patina in the denticles outside the letters U in UNITED will serve as a convenient means of tracing this piece through future cabinets. Well produced and nicely preserved overall. Noyes Die State B/B. Provenance: From our sale of the Paradise Collection, Spring (March) 2019 Baltimore Auction, lot 448. PCGS# 1681. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
