- 1823 Matron Head Cent. Private Restrike. Copper. MS-64 BN (PCGS). Nicely preserved surfaces that retain a decent amount of original mint red and are only lightly toned down to a soft brown elsewhere. The skin is thick and frosty yet flashes of proof-like brilliance show through in places. The overall appearance is that of a fully original, untouched piece. Virtually pristine in terms of marks, there are just a few carbon spots near the coronet tip and star 2. The scarcity and key date status of the regular issue 1823 Matron Head cent resulted in the creation of this private restrike from discarded U.S. Mint dies for distribution to collectors. The obverse die is from the 1823 N-2 pairing, and here we see the full development of the breakage over stars 4 to 7, which has progressed through several stages. The reverse die is the one used to strike the Sheldon-293 variety of the 1813 Classic Head cent. While not official U.S. Mint products, these Restrike 1823 cents are from original dies and thus have their place within any extensive cent cabinet. They are widely collected, come in several stages of die failure, and are known in two metals (copper and silver). This appealing near-Gem example will draw considerable interest. PCGS# 81627.
