Lot Description

1820 Matron Head Cent. N-13. Rarity-1. Large Date. MS-64 RD (PCGS). Beautiful satin surfaces are drenched in original, vivid, bright orange color. The strike is as full as one could realistically expect to see in an early date Matron Head cent, and a bit of light carbon on the reverse is all that seems to preclude an even higher grade. Conditionally rare for this otherwise readily obtainable die marriage, and perfect for advanced type purposes, as such. Noyes Die State B/A. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier from our Baltimore Auction of November 2016, lot 172. PCGS Population (all die marriages of the Large Date variety): 11; 7 finer in this category (all MS-65 RD). PCGS# 1617. NGC ID: 2256.
