1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 10-L, W-6280. Rarity-2+. Period After MASSACHUSETTS. EF-45 (PCGS).,This is a satiny and exceptionally smooth, lightly circulated Massachusetts copper. Streaks of light flint gray interrupt otherwise dominant reddish-brown patina. The strike is well centered and there is ample boldness of detail for the assigned grade. A shallow flan flaw is well concealed below the Native Americans left arm and is the only blemish of note. This piece would be ideal for type purposes, and is equally well suited for a variety set of this early federal era series.,,
