1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 10-L, W-6280. Rarity-2. Period After MASSACHUSETTS. MS-62 BN (NGC). Superior to most other Ryder 10-Ls that we have offered in recent years, this impressive condition rarity offers sharp to full striking detail throughout the design. The borders are near-fully denticulated, coming up short in this regard only from 3 to 7 oclock on the reverse. A minor flan flaw at the upper obverse border is as made, the surfaces free of detracting marks and remarkably smooth in hand. An even endowment of warm rose-brown patina further enhances the appeal of this significant Massachusetts cent.
