1828 Matron Head Cent. N-3. Rarity-2. Large Narrow Date. MS-61 BN (NGC). A pleasantly frosty example with strong eye appeal at this grade level. The strike is uniform and sharp for the variety, imparting the stars with distinct centrils. Toned in burnt-caramel and steel-olive shades which are a bit deeper overall on the reverse. That side is rotated a few degrees clockwise from normal coin alignment. A couple of dull marks on Libertys cheek are the only singularly mentionable blemishes, both sides generally quite smooth in hand. PCGS# 36880. NGC ID: 225J.
