1787 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 2-C, W-6050. Rarity-4. Arrows in Left Talon. EF-40 (PCGS). 145.3 grains. A solid and attractive example of this scarcer variety. Medium-brown surfaces are original and free from post-strike problems. A bit of natural planchet roughness is seen on both sides, original to the metal and not a product of environmental damage. This cent received only modest, even wear during its time spent in circulation and all of the design elements remain bold. Late die state with an advanced die crack from the date to the M, fairly scarce as such. PCGS# 688943. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from St. Jamess Auctions Auction 2, May 2005, lot 874.
