Lot Description

1839/6 Modified Matron Head Cent. N-1. Rarity-3. Plain Hair Cords. VF-35 BN (NGC). An attractive and pleasing example of this scarce variety. The surfaces are toned in overall olive-brown coloration with areas of golden-tan showing throughout. Uniformly defined and bold throughout, the denticles remain sharp for this grade level and LIBERTY is intricate. A few small marks are seen under inspection, including a thin mark over Liberty's eye, though none are individually distracting. Just 3 are graded finer at NGC. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex Chris Victor-McCawley; Dennis Mendelson; Superior Galleries' sale of February 1991, lot 572; Heritage's sale of the Wes Rasmussen Large Cent Collection, January 2005, lot 3712.
