1820/19 Matron Head Cent. N-1. Rarity-1. MS-62 BN (PCGS).，This is a lovely cent with glossy, nearly prooflike surfaces (in fact, Homer Downing classified this exact coin as a Proof in his remarkable collection). Warm golden-brown patina is seen throughout and the strike is sharp over all devices save for a few of the obverse stars. The impression is not perfectly centered, although both sides exhibit full denticulation around the borders. Newcomb-1 is one of three die marriages of the 1820/19 cent, the only so-called Large Overdate with a tall 1 in the date and repunching to both that digit and the adjacent 8. Additionally, this variety is identifiable by a die line through the tops of the letters BER in LIBERTY. A handsome piece with an impressive provenance, we anticipate keen interest in this coin among large cent variety enthusiasts. Noyes Die State A/A. The pedigree chain is most impressive!，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier ex S.H. Chapmans sale of the Dr. Henry W. Beckwith Collection, April 1923, lot 57; Henry C.
