1823 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-2. VG Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS). Dark steel surfaces, a bit lighter on the high points. Though dark and microporous it remains visually appealing for the grade with no serious impairments and just a couple of minor scratches at the neckline. The late state, here with a cud having formed between two areas of rim crumbling seen on the coin in the previous lot. A scarcer die state for the specialist collector. PCGS# 36757. NGC ID: 225A.

Earlier ex Dennis Mendelson, April 1989; Superiors sale of the March Wells Collection, February 2000, lot 1851; our sale of the Twin Leaf Collection, Part I, July 2015 Baltimore Auction, lot 2112.
