Description
1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 4-G, W-6230. Rarity-4. Period After MASSACHUSETTS. EF-40 (PCGS).
152.3 grains. A scarce die variety of which this is a very pretty example. The surfaces are nicely glossy and an ideal shade of light chocolate brown with subtle woodgrain undertone. Nicely struck on a high quality planchet that is smooth and hard without any trace of corrosion or planchet flaws. There are a few little bumps around the rims, none severe, while the fields and devices are free from any individually mentionable marks. Quite a respectable example, a nice EF is about as good as can be found for the Ryder 4-G die pair.
PCGS# 688957.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection, January 2013 Americana Sale, lot 11070.
