详细说明: 1836 Modified Matron Head Cent. N-3. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State A/A. MS-66 RB (PCGS). CAC. Die Variety: Newcomb-3 is one of seven varieties for the date. The obverse and reverse dies make their only appearance here. Even Date, 83 somewhat low.    Die State: Obverse die perfect with strong dentils. Unlisted early reverse die state, no crack from M to wreath, but faint crack at right upright of M connects to the berry immediately adjacent, another faint crack through CA to the dentils below the stem; these probably faded from the die before the crack alongside the M developed. I of UNITED repunched at top.  Strike: Obverse weak at the periphery, strong at the center, reverse strong throughout. Surfaces: Robust cartwheel luster spins boldly across the deep mint orange surfaces with just a whisper of golden-tan on the reverse. There are no marks of substance, although some minuscule obverse flecks can be seen under low magnification.   Census Rankings: Noyes Census at finest known, Bland Census at tied for second finest. Noyes grades the piece MS-65, Bland as MS-65+, and McCawley-Grellman as MS-66. A truly glorious Gem and a highlight of the Cardinal Collection’s impressive offering of large cents of the 1830s.    Pedigree: Our (Stack's) New York City ANA Sale, August 1976, lot 285; Tony Terranova; Myles Z.
