This specimen was lot 2638 in Stack's Bowers August 2020 auction, where it sold for $19,200. The lot description noted, "1824/2 Matron Head Cent. N-1. Rarity-1. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Obv: A head of Liberty faces left with 13 stars around the border and the date 1824 below. She is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, her hair tied into a bun at the back of her head by a plain cord. Rev: A circular wreath encloses the denomination ONE CENT with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border. Die Variety: Newcomb-1. Obv: Overdate, 1824/2, which is definitive for this obverse die, also used in the 1824/2 N-5 pairing. Rev: The letter T in CENT is low. The 1824/2 N-1 represents the only use of this reverse die. Along with N-5, N-1 corresponds to the 1824/2 ''Guide Book'' listing in the Matron Head cent series. Die State: Noyes B/B. Obv: Lightly cracked through star 6 to the upper left point of star 7. Rev: A prominent peripheral crack originates at the letter F in OF and circles through the letters in AMERICA, the tip of the branch stem, the left ribbon end, and through the letters in UNITED STATES to the left base of the letter O in OF. A second, minute crack is in the leaves of the wreath below the letter F in OF. Estimated Surviving Population for the Die Variety: Rarity-1: More than 1,500 coins in all grades.

Strike: Ideally centered and well struck overall, both sides are universally and evenly denticulated around the borders with sharp to full definition to the focal features. The obverse stars are generally blunt with only a few showing partial radial lines. The all important overdate feature is clear with remnants of the 2 underdigit crisp. This is a lustrous, satiny example with hard, tight surfaces. Both sides exhibit dominant medium brown toning, with blushes of steel-blue to the high points. Scattered marks are a bit more prevalent on the reverse and include tiny nicks in the central field around the denomination ONE CENT, thin graze below the left ribbon end. A pair of toning spots on the obverse after the date, another at star 7, and a splash of darker patina on the reverse at the letter F in OF and the first letter A in AMERICA are also noted. This cent is smooth and aesthetically pleasing.

Commentary: The 1824-dated dies account for the majority of the 1,262,000 pieces that the Mint reported for calendar year 1824, with the remainder an unknown quantity of the key 1823-dated issue. The 1824 is a semi-key date among middle date large cents, especially the 1824/2 Guide Book listing, which comprises the Newcomb-1 and N-5 die pairings. Receiving an EAC grade of AU-50+ in the Noyes census, the ESM specimen is a sharp and desirable example of this popular and conditionally challenging variety. From the ESM Collection. Earlier ex Jim McGuigan, April 2002; Paul Gerrie; Ira & Larry Goldberg's sale of the Northwest Collection of Liberty Cents, May 2012 Pre-Long Beach Auction, lot 19.

PCGS Population (both die marriages of the 1824/2): 6; 4 finer (MS-64 BN finest). There are no RB or RD examples of the 1824/2 known to PCGS." This type, struck 1816-39 in substantial quantities, is available in circulated condition. Many varieties exist and all are avidly collected altho the date is common as a whole.
