1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 15-M, W-6400. Rarity-5-. Period After MASSACHUSETTS. Fine-15 (PCGS). 148.1 grains. Attractive, original surfaces that are predominantly chocolate-brown with some mottling of golden-tan. Only a few tiny marks and flaws can be found and none really distract the eye. Just modest, even wear over well balanced and nicely centered detail. The definition is quite bold for the grade and this cent could easily qualify for a VF grade. An appealing example of a scarce variety and a coin that would serve admirably in even an advanced collection. PCGS# 688358. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Tri-State Coin Club, October 2001.
