1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 10-L, W-6280. Rarity-2+. Period After MASSACHUSETTS. AU-58 (PCGS).Streaks of gray-brown patina mingle with warmer autumn-orange color on both sides of this attractively original piece. The surfaces are hard, tight and overall smooth with only a few tiny specks of ancient verdigris in the protected areas around some of the devices. Softness of detail is minor and confined to the centers, the balance of the design elements sharp to full. This is a pleasing Choice AU that would do equally well in a high quality type or variety set.
