Lot 10
1787 Massachusetts Half Cent. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Medium brown color with a hint of mint red barely visible. Nice, somewhat dry surfaces (this piece could definitely use a good oiling and brushing -- see a copper specialist for an explanation of what we mean). Well struck for the variety, with most of the words HALF CENTS still visible. All in all, the State of Massachusetts produced coins of consistent, high quality -- an exception for the period and a boon to the collectors of today (PCGS # 296) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
