Lot Description

1839/6 Modified Matron Head Cent. N-1. Rarity-3. Plain Hair Cords. Fine-12 (PCGS). Generally deep copper patina with intermingled swirls and streaks of warmer golden-brown. A few spots in the lower right obverse field are noted, but otherwise the surfaces are smooth in hand with only wispy handling marks. All devices are boldly outlined, and the borders are distinct, if missing much of the denticulation. Scarce and popular overdate! Provenance: From the Boston Old City Hall Collection. Collector tag with attribution notation included. PCGS# 1756. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
