1826 Matron Head Cent. N-5. Rarity-2. AU-58+ (PCGS).A handsome near-Mint example with glints of crimson and mahogany surrounding the design elements. The patina is otherwise steely brown and glossy in texture, with blooms of satiny luster in the protected areas. Only trivial blemishes show under a glass, with a small mark under C of CENT serving as the most notable pedigree marker. The dies are largely perfect save for minor flowlines equivalent to Noyes Die State A/A (late), and the reverse is rotated about 30 degrees clockwise.From the Paradise Collection.
