详细说明: 1833 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-2. Noyes Die State B/C. MS-66 RB (PCGS). CAC. Die Variety: Newcomb-2 is one of six die varieties for the date. Curved even date, 18 high.   Die State: Obverse die crack begins at star 11 and works its way clockwise through stars 12 and 13, then through the date and connecting stars 1 through 9. Reverse with crack atop RICA, another at tops of UNITED STAT. Reverse die aligned to 225 degrees or so, top of wreath points to 2 o'clock rather than the usual 12 o'clock. Strike: Bold throughout with sharp stars, hair, and wreath details. Surfaces: Satiny mint orange surfaces exhibit bold cartwheel luster and just a whisper of golden-tan chiefly relegated to the obverse; the attractive reverse is full mint orange in our opinion.  Census Rankings: Tied for second finest in the Noyes Census; finest seen in the Bland Census; Noyes calls it MS-65; Bland calls it MS-70-; McCawley-Grellman calls it MS-66.   Pedigree: Dr. J. Hewitt Judd; Abe Kosoff; Del Bland; Jon Hanson; Dr. Wayne G. Slife; Lester Merkin's GENA Convention Sale, October 1972, lot 598; Dr. Joseph E. Dice; our (Stack's) sale of March 1986, lot 844; Walter Dudgeon; McCawley-Grellman's sale of July 1994, lot 120; Tony Terranova; Ira & Larry Goldberg's sale of the R.E. "Ted" Naftzger, Jr. Collection, Part II, February 2009, lot 281; Legend Numismatics; Cardinal Collection.   Commentary: Again here is another outstanding example for anyone building a high grade die variety set or, more likely for participants in the present sale, collecting the basic types and varieties of large cents listed in the Guide Book of United States Coins.
