<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2772126, member: 8959&quot;]I was finally able to add an 1823 N-2 Matron Head large cent to my collection.</p><p>This is a relatively recent purchase. I did not hesitate long before pulling the trigger on this one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are only two varieties for this year, N-1 (the overdate), and N-2 (non-overdate).</p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to find an N-1 many years ago, but the search for a suitable N-2 took me quite a bit longer.&nbsp; </p><p>N-2 is recognized as being the scarcer of the two, specially in grades above VF with nice, non-blemished planchets. </p><p>My example is mid-grade with pleasing hard surfaces and chocolate brown and tan patina. And, best of all, no surface issues.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Shown here also my 1821, and 1823 N-1.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1821 is not bad as they come and free of porosity, but has some surface blemishes at the stars and area in front of bust.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please take a stab at grading these 3 middle dates, and please show your middle-date 1816-1839 large cents if you have them!</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>1821, N-2.</b>&nbsp; (as for the year 1823, only two varieties exist for this year)</font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]639475[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]639476[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>1823, N-1.
