1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 1-D, W-6190. Rarity-3-. Period After MASSACHUSETTS. VF-25 (PCGS).Overall boldly defined from a well centered strike, only along the left obverse and reverse borders do we see mentionable (albeit minor) softness of detail. Dominant reddish-copper patina with streaks of warmer flint gray toning diagonally bisecting both sides. A thin flan flaw (as made) at the upper right reverse border, a tiny pit outside the second letter S in MASSACHUSETTS, and a few shallow scuffs in the lower right obverse field are the only blemishes of note for this otherwise smooth-looking VF.
