- 1819 Matron Head Cent. N-8. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State B/B. Small Date. MS-65 RB (PCGS). CAC. <strong>Die Variety: </strong>Newcomb-8 is one of the Small Date die marriages of the 1819 Matron Head cent, and it represents the first of two uses of this particular obverse die (the later usage is in the N-7 marriage). The date is small and wide with stars 1 and 13 distant, and there is minor repunching to the letters TY in LIBERTY. The reverse die is in its only usage, and it is identifiable by the letters UNI in UNITED high and canted to the left, uncommonly wide spacing between the letters CA in AMERICA, the right top of the letter C in CENT repunched, and an outer berry centered below the first letter A in AMERICA.<br />
<br />
<strong>Die State: </strong>The coin offered here represents the late die state of the variety with both dies worn, denticulation on both sides virtually (if not completely) gone, light flowlining around the peripheries, and the peripheral devices somewhat softly defined closest to the borders.<br />
<br />
<strong>Strike: </strong>Apart from peripheral striking softness attributed to and discussed above under Die State, this is a well struck coin. The central devices are overall sharp, in fact, and the outward appearance on both sides is that of a boldly struck, early date Matron Head cent.<br />
<br />
<strong>Surfaces: </strong>A beautiful Gem with vibrant, frosty surfaces; both sides retain approximately 75% of the original pinkish red luster. Faint glossy brown toning blends nicely with the remaining luster. There is no grade-limiting carbon, no outwardly distracting abrasions, and pedigree markers are confined to a trio of extremely faint, vertical marks in the reverse field below the letter C in CENT and the left edge of the line under that word.<br />

<strong>Census Rankings: </strong>This coin is new to the Condition Census for the variety and is not listed by either Noyes or Bland. Our consignor describes this as the finest kno
