- 1820 Matron Head Cent. N-13. Rarity-1. Large Date. MS-64 RB (PCGS). OGH. Satiny golden-brown surfaces are silky smooth in texture with bold to sharp striking detail. This piece is from the Randall Hoard which included Mint State examples of numerous different large cent die varieties. The hoard first came to public notice around 1869 when John Swan Randall started to vend a large supply of large cents with dates from 1818 through 1820. According to Breen, Randall had acquired the coins from a Norwich, New York department store at less than face value; the store's customers had refused to accept the coins in change, and the store had no desire to keep them on hand. Sometime earlier, the department store had acquired the coins from a wholesale broker who in turn had received them in payment from a Georgia merchant. The story is presented in greater detail by Q. David Bowers' in his American Coin Treasures and Hoards. PCGS# 1616. NGC ID: 2256. Click herefor certification details from PCGS.
