Description
1823/2 Large Cent Rarity, AU 58 NGC, Tied For Finest Certified
1823/2 AU 58 NGC. N-1, R.2. The '23/2 overdate cent, along with its "normal" date counterpart of the year, is undoubtedly the rarest date overall in the Matron Head cent design type, particularly when located in grades above VF. In fact, the 1823 normal date (along with the 1804 Draped Bust cent rarity), was one of two dates restruck in later years to quell the demand by 19th-century collectors. The specimen offered here is warm chestnut-brown in color, with only a few insignificant marks present on either side and definitely worthy of the assigned grade. Indeed, this coin is tied for finest certified by NGC, and neither NGC nor PCGS has certified an uncirculated example of this rare overdate. If one wanted the finest certified example of this rarity in their collection, then the search has ended. Population: 3 at 58, none finer (4/98). For comparison purposes, PCGS has certified one example of the date at 58, with none finer (7/98).Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 1630, GSID# 1262)
