- 1817 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-3. 13 Stars. AU-53 (PCGS).
A rare and significant rarity as an early die state example from the 1817 N-2 dies. Satiny surfaces are hard, tight and overall smooth in hand. Areas of pale autumn-orange and charcoal-russet are associated with light porosity, chiefly on the reverse, although the appearance of both sides is largely one of handsome medium olive-brown patina. Sharply defined for the assigned grade with only a single light scuff at star 11 to serve as a worthwhile identifier. According to the cataloger in the Goldbergs' Benson Collection sale of February 2001, where this coin was offered as lot 401, "This early die state is extremely rare, the only other known example was sold in the Jack Robinson sale by Superior Stamp and Coin in 1989, lot 669, grading net VG-10 for $577.50 over a decade ago!" EAC grade VF-25. Noyes Die State A/A.
Provenance: From Ira & Larry Goldberg's Benson Collection sale, February 2001, lot 401. Copy of lot description and collector envelope and cardboard 2x2 with attribution notes included.
PCGS# 1594. NGC ID: 2252.
