1820 Matron Head Cent. N-13. Rarity-1. Large Date. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC.A technically superior example of this Randall Hoard variety toned in deep steel blue across the obverse and lighter caramel shades on the reverse. Trivial specks of patina near stars 10 and 13 are noted under scrutiny but appear largely benign. Satiny luster floods the fields without interruption, emphasizing the more frosty texture that blankets the devices. The central elements are impressively sharp on each side, showing just the faintest hints of fatigue near the borders, equivalent to Noyes Die State B/B. A handsome piece for both type collectors and specialists.From the Paradise Collection.
