1787 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 4-C, W-6100. Rarity-4-. Arrows in Left Talon, Bowed Head. AU-53 (PCGS).,147.5 grains. Nicknamed the "Bowed Head" for the Indians downward gaze, pleasing high grade specimens outside of some Choice Mint State coins are very scarce, making this trouble-free lightly circulated coin unideal specimen for a high end variety set like Mike Demlings. Norwebs was called MS-60 though grade MS-65+ by NGC in the Partrick sale, and the primary Ford coin, ex Ryder, is a touch finer than this coin and brought over $4300 in2004. Finding a comparably pleasing, high end example of the die marriage will take a long search.,From the Michael Demling Collection of Massachusetts Cents. Earlier ex Tom Rinaldo, SLT Collection, Tony Terranova. <p>,
