Description
1816 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-1. MS-63 RB (PCGS).
Popular for type purposes, the 1816 is the premier issue in the Matron Head cent series. And this is a lovely Mint State example that retains abundant pinkish-red mint color on an obverse that is also toned in gently mottled olive-brown. The reverse is mostly toned, again in warm olive-brown, but there are traces of faded mint color in the protected areas around the design elements. Surfaces are hard and tight, the strike generally sharp with only minor softness to some of the obverse stars and the high points of Liberty's portrait. A few shallow scuffs engaging the latter design element explain the MS-63 numeric grade, but they are easily overlooked during in hand viewing and will requite a loupe to fully discern. The eye appeal is superior.
PCGS# 1592. NGC ID: 224Z.
From the Senator Platt Family Collection, started prior to 1870.
