1818 Matron Head Cent. N-10. Rarity-1. MS-64 RD (PCGS). OGH.An exceptionally well preserved, breathtakingly beautiful example that will appeal to quality conscious type collectors as well as advanced large cent enthusiasts. Frosty mint orange surfaces with the barest hint of gray-brown iridescence. Well struck for the type, the central design elements are sharply to fully defined. A few scattered carbon spots are noted for accuracy -- seemingly the only impediments to a full Gem rating from PCGS. Noyes Die State B/B. From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier from Heritages Signature Auction of October 2009, lot 84.
