1826 Matron Head Cent. N-3. Rarity-3. AU-55 (PCGS). Lovely surfaces that are glossy and a mix of chocolate-brown and tan tones. Subtle satiny luster remains in the fields on each side. Later die state with advanced rim crumbling over stars 5-8. A superior example of the variety. PCGS# 36817. NGC ID: 225G. From the John McBride Collection.
