1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 8-C, W-6260. Rarity-3. Period After MASSACHUSETTS. VF-25 (PCGS).Otherwise dark copper surfaces exhibit swirls of golden-brown patina around the central obverse and over the lower left reverse. A glossy and tight example whose overall smooth-looking surfaces hold up well both to the unaided eye and when observed with the aid of a loupe. Bold and inviting VF detail for this conditionally challenging die marriage, survivors of which are seldom offered in grades above EF.Collector envelope with attribution notation included.
