1787 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 2b-A, W-6040. Rarity-2. Arrows in Left Talon, Horned Eagle. VF-25 (PCGS).Marbled deep rose and antique copper patina greets the viewer from both sides. The surfaces are microscopically rough with light pitting and scattered abrasions, but they are relatively smooth in hand thanks to a lack of sizeable blemishes. A trivial edge bump just before 3 oclock on the obverse is noted solely for accuracy. Boldly defined for the grade from a nicely centered strike. The popular and readily attributable Horned Eagle variety of the 1787 Massachusetts cent, offered here in pleasing VF preservation.Collector envelope with attribution notation included.
