Lot Description

1828 Matron Head Cent. N-11. Rarity-2. Large Narrow Date. MS-62 BN (PCGS). Both sides of this handsome piece exhibits richly original toning. The obverse is predominantly golden-brown, while the reverse exhibits dominant steel-brown. Both colors are present on both sides to one degree or another. Overall sharply defined from a nicely centered strike, mentionable softness of detail is confined to the obverse stars, a typical feature for the type. The surfaces are satiny, smooth, and not all that far from Choice Mint State quality. A popular and readily attributable variety, a loupe reveals remnants of an errant S before the word STATES and an errant O between that word and OF. Noyes Die State A/A. PCGS# 1654. NGC ID: 225J.
