- 1822 Matron Head Cent. N-4. Rarity-2. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC.
Uniform deep chocolate brown with steel overtones. Traces of warm violet blend in on the reverse, these being remnants of the faded mint color. Generous cartwheels of luster on both sides, though close inspection reveals suggestions of faint prooflike character in places. A couple of tiny marks on the cheek and one on star 5, but the coin is virtually free of abrasions otherwise. A later state of the dies, with the obverse inner circle less complete and the dentils beginning to fade into it. A bit of shallow spalling is seen on the portrait giving it a slightly pebbly texture under magnification. Tiny remnants of a die clashing can be seen on both sides, on the throat, and near the center of the reverse. Perhaps a bit of post-clashing maintenance resulted in the faint prooflike qualities. Ranked as the lone CC#4 in the Noyes Census. A superb cent.
