- 1821 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-1. AU-50 (PCGS). A reported mintage of just 389,000 pieces has established the 1821 as one of the more elusive, most eagerly sought dates in the Matron Head cent series of 1816 to 1839. We offer here a handsome olive-brown and golden-tan survivor that retains bold to sharp definition from a well balanced and nicely executed strike. Even the denticulation is crisp and even around both sides. Free of sizeable or otherwise outwardly distracting abrasions, there is also no detracting carbon to inhibit strong eye appeal. A significant find that is sure to be of particular interest to the large cent date collector. Numismatic scholars have identified only two die marriages for the 1821 Matron Head cent, and they were struck from different obverse and reverse dies. The most readily evident diagnostic is along the left obverse border. Newcomb-2, illustrated here, exhibits a strong inner circle along the denticles in that area while N-1 lacks that feature. Additionally, N-2 displays a fairly bold die scratch (as struck) in the field between star 1 and the date. Provenance: From the Abernathy Collection. PCGS# 1621. NGC ID: 2258.
