详细说明

1834 Matron Head Cent. N-2. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State B/C. Small 8, Large Stars, Medium Letters. MS-66 BN (PCGS). CAC. OGH. <strong>Die Variety: </strong>Newcomb-2 is one of seven varieties for the date. Small 8, with the Y in LIBERTY and the stars large. The reverse is one of the Medium Letters varieties of the issue with the letter O in ONE leaning left. Neither of these dies appears in any other marriage for the issue. <br /> <strong>&nbsp;<br /> Die State:&nbsp;</strong>Obverse die crack clockwise from star 1 around through all the stars then to the top of the 4. Reverse die crack from STA juts downward through the wreath clockwise before reentering the field below RI and then through CA. Reverse die aligned to 225 degrees rather than the usual 180 degrees.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> <strong>Strike:&nbsp;</strong>A few obverse stars weak, otherwise the details are crisp on both sides.<br /> <strong><br /> Surfaces: </strong>Satiny and boldly lustrous deep golden-tan surfaces offer exceptional eye appeal and no marks&nbsp;worthy of reporrting.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <strong>Census Rankings: </strong>New to the <em>Condition Census</em> for the date and not yet seen by Noyes or Bland.<strong>&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Pedigree: </strong>Legend Numismatics; Cardinal Collection.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> <strong>Commentary:&nbsp;</strong>What a nice coin this is. As we review the Cardinal Collection large copper cents we have the distinct feeling that &nbsp;an offering like this may never occur again, or at least not anytime soon.&nbsp;
