1835 Matron Head Cent. N-9. Rarity-4 (Rarity-7 for die state). Large 8, Large Stars. VG-8 (PCGS). The extremely rare terminal die state with two large cuds, one on each side. There are just a small handful known, probably not more than 8-10 altogether. Condition-wise this is a good quality cent for the grade with original, rather glossy medium to dark brown surfaces. A few minor marks including some small rim nicks and a couple short scrapes at the ear. Planchet laminations at stars 4-6. Dies rotated 45 degrees CW. A rare opportunity for the middle date specialist or really anyone interested in obtaining one of the most dramatic die states in the entire large cent series. PCGS# 37108. NGC ID: 225S. From the John McBride Collection. Earlier ex Jim Long; 2016 EAC Convention Sale, lot 406 (where it was featured on the front cover).
