1821 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-1. AU-53 (PCGS).

1821 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-1. AU-53 (PCGS). Noyes Die State A/A. A reported mintage of 389,000 pieces has established the 1821 as one of the more elusive, most eagerly sought dates in the Matron Head series of 1816 to 1839. This is a handsome, originally toned piece dressed in mottled copper and golden-brown, the latter representing faded down mint color. Both sides retain plenty of bold to sharp definition from a well balanced and nicely executed strike. Free of distracting marks, this coin is a significant find that is sure to be of particular interest to the large cent date collector. Numismatic scholars have identified only two die marriages for the 1821 Matron Head cent, and they were struck from different obverse and reverse dies. The most readily evident diagnostic is along the left obverse border. Newcomb-2, illustrated here, exhibits a strong inner circle along the denticles in that area while N-1 lacks that feature. Additionally, N-2 displays a fairly bold die scratch (as made) in the field between star 1 and the date. Provenance: From the Collection of Gary T. Athelstan. PCGS# 1621. NGC ID: 2258.
