Lot 96
1787 Massachusetts Cent Ryder 2-E Rarity-5 F12. Sharpness VF20 but slightly dull from extremely fine porosity that covers the fields and protected areas. The roughness is visible only under strong magnification and there is no verdigris. The only marks are two tiny pits, one on each side of the Indian, and a few faint hairline scratches on the eagle. Slightly glossy dark steel and chocolate. The date and legends are clear and much of CENT remains visible. Listed on page 59 in the "Redbook." Weight 169.1 grains.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
