A frosty, mostly steely-copper example with areas of lighter rose-brown color that are more prevalent on the reverse. The obverse exhibits a few speckles of olive-russet patina bisecting the obverse. Boldly to sharply defined with only a few inconsequential marks that are so minor as to be easily overlooked. Certainly a high quality example of this popular overdate variety for the 1824 Matron Head cent, and a coin that would serve equally well in an advanced type set or early copper collection.,,PCGS# 1639.
