Lot 58
1788 Massachusetts Cent. Period after "Massachusetts". PCGS graded MS-65 Brown. This is the finest graded of this date by PCGS, and alone as the sole MS-65 in any color category. Perhaps it is the very finest known of the entire issue, although such claims are ill advised without extensive research. Further, this is a scarce issue, and we note the strike is quite sharp, even on the upper devices, with CENT sharp. The planchet wasn't perfect on the very extremes of the edge, and this caused the A of WEALTH to be poorly struck up, and other areas are similar. Traces of mint red are noted on the reverse. A strong glass will note some very trivial pin lines near the lettering on the reverse. If you demand the finest, then here it is.
Estimated Value $8,500-UP.
