Lot Description

1826/5 Matron Head Cent. N-8. Rarity-2. AU-58 BN (NGC). Deep golden tan with bold chestnut and chocolate highlights. Chiefly hard and glossy surfaces display no marks of merit. Nicely struck in all quarters with just a trace of faint, even wear on the high points. Crossbar of underlying 5 plainly visible at the 6 in the date. A pleasing example of a popular overdate cent.
