- Richly Original 1836 N-3 Cent
1836 Modified Matron Head Cent. N-3. Rarity-1. MS-65 BN (PCGS). OGH.
Type:Modified Matron Head.
Design: Obv: A head of Liberty faces left with 13 stars around the border and the date 1836 below. She is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, her hair tied into a bun at the back of her head by a plain cord. Rev: A circular wreath encloses the denomination ONE CENT with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border.
Weight Standard: 10.89 grams.
Diameter: 27.5 mm.
Die Variety: Newcomb-3. Obv: In the date, the digits 83 are lower than the 1 and 6. Also identifiable by a defective inner point on star 4. The 1836 N-3 represents the only use of this obverse die. Rev: There is a faint die line at the denticles above the letter I in UNITED, and the base of the letter E in AMERICA is above the adjacent M. The 1836 N-3 also represents the only use of this reverse die.
All die marriages of this issue correspond to the only Guide Booklisting of the 1836 Modified Matron Head cent.
Die State: Noyes C/D. Obv: There is a prominent cud break at the border outside star 6, and the die is slightly worn with the denticle tips fading and light flowlining in the fields. Rev: A crack originates at the right border, extends down the left side of the letter M in AMERICA, continues through the right part of the wreath, the top of the word ONE, the left part of the wreath, and the first letter S in STATES before terminating in the denticles above that letter. The die is slightly worn with faint flowlining in the field.
Edge: Plain.
Mintage for the Issue: 2,111,000 coins.
Estimated Surviving Population for the Die Variety: Rarity-1: More than 1,500 coins in all grades.
Strike: Sharply struck despite the advanced die state, both sides exhibit boldly, uniformly denticulated borders with the central design elements smartly impressed and virtually full. The stars on the obverse exhibit above average detail with many displaying at least partial radial lines.
Surfaces: Frosty medium brown surfaces display intermingled highlights of steel-blue and faded mint color in the form of pale rose undertones that are a bit more pronounced on the reverse. Free of detracting marks, a few carbon spots are scattered about, the most prevalent on the obverse in the field between the bust and date, and within the denticles outside star 4.
Commentary: A well produced, attractively and originally preserved Gem that would do equally well in a high grade type, date or variety set.
Provenance: From the ESM Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Ohio Collection, January 2002 FUN Signature Sale, lot 5402; Heritage's sale of the Craig A. Stevens Registry Collection of Large Cents, April 2006 CSNS Signature Auction, lot 286.
PCGS Population (all die marriages of the issue): 10; 4 finer in this category (MS-66 BN finest).
