Description
The 1824 Matron Head Coronet Head Cent - 4/2 is a cent produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Matron Head Coronet Head Cents 1816-1835 series.

The 1824/2 overdate is collected. Multiple Newcomb varieties cataloged. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $100 to $31K depending on grade and condition. Struck in copper, weighing 10.89 grams, 28 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #1639.
