1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 2-B, W-6200. Rarity-4-. Period after MASSACHUSETTS. Fine-12.151.68 grains. Smooth, glossy surfaces are the product of even wear across this lovely Ryder 2-B. A few areas of microporosity show under magnification though this is benign to the naked eye. An old mark at the left elbow of the Native American is the most notable imperfection on either side, accompanying a couple minor rim bruises at the lower obverse border. The woodgrain patina of golden-bronze hues contributes to wonderful eye appeal and we encourage collectors to inspect this piece in-hand.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
