1823 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-2. EF-45 (PCGS).
An overall boldly defined example with full denticulation encircling both sides. Somewhat glossy in texture with steely-lilac undertones, both sides exhibit dominant autumn-brown patina that enhances the visual appeal. There are no individually mentionable blemishes apart from a few tiny contact marks in the left obverse field. More affordable Choice EF preservation for this key date issue in the Matron Head cent series.
