1787 Massachusetts Half Cent. Ryder 4-C, W-5940. Rarity-2. AU-55 BN (NGC).Thoroughly appealing for the type, this coin has much to offer the collector seeking a single high grade example of the Massachusetts half cent. Overall smooth, satiny, medium brown surfaces reveal only light encrustation in the protected areas around some of the devices. Boldly struck otherwise, some original planchet texture remains in the centers. Reverse fully denticulated, the obverse trivially tight to 12 oclock.
