1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 11-F, W-6310. Rarity-5-. Slim Indian. VF-35 (PCGS)133.2 grains. A second example of this scarce variety. Dark chocolate brown surfaces with ruddy mottling across both sides. Microporous yet still glossy to the unaided eye. A couple of tiny rim bumps are noted, but there are no other distracting imperfections, whether natural or otherwise. Generally sharp and attractive for the grade. Certainly not anywhere near as nice as the coin offered above, but just as certainly above average for this scarce variety.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova, 2002.
