1787 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 4-C, W-6100. Rarity-4-. Bowed Head. EF-45 (PCGS).147.8 grains. Deep olive brown with nuances of pale blue-green in the fields. Some faint old hairlines are detected upon close study, but overall the coin remains even and pleasing. One long, thin natural planchet flaw extends nearly rim to rim, crossing the Indians chest. Evenly struck with good detail and fairly good eye appeal, even with the noted flaw.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Sixth Annual C4 Convention sale, November 2000:286; Bowers and Merena, March 2003:197.
