1788 Massachusetts Half Cent. Ryder 1-B, W-6010. Rarity-2. AU-55 (PCGS).A pleasing example, both sides exhibit a hard, tight, satin texture to warmly patinated surfaces. The strike is trivially drawn to the viewers left on the obverse, better centered on the reverse, with the detail universally sharp throughout the design. Microscopically rough in texture, yet smooth in hand, this is a desirable high grade example of the type, issue, and die pairing.
