1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 12-I (Low R-4)
|
CH EF |
$2,700.00
|
153.8 grains. Choice Extremely Fine. Chocolate brown joins deep chestnut hues on this coin exhibiting a subtle ''woodgrain'' toning pattern on both obverse and reverse. Surfaces are uniformly microgranular, but not quite as much as the Ford coin, which brought nearly $5,000. The fields, on the overall, have a good amount of gloss, and the devices are well-defined and only ever so gently... more |

|
VG |
$950.00
|
131.3 grains. Very Good. Surfaces are toned in salmon and brown hues and exhibit microscopic granularity and patches of hairlines from an unfortunate past cleaning. The central devices, however, are quite bold and well defined, while the peripheral legends and the date are weak to nonexistent. No clear signs of an undertype are discernable due to the surface quality. Despite this coin's... more |

SP |
$18,000.00
|
121.2 grains. Fine in terms of actual detail. Dies oriented medal turn, as was the recently sold Ford specimen. Surfaces are quite porous on the overall, with some larger verdigris-filled pits noted mostly on the obverse.

- or virtually so. 150.1 grains. Just a wisp of wear can be seen at the high points of this lustrous, deep chestnut brown specimen. The obverse die crack is in an advanced state, with the additional die chip at the rim above the first '7' in the date. A planchet flaw lies well hidden in the sun's rays at the upper obverse. |

1791 Washington Small Eagle Cent. Baker 16. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$2,000.00
|
- or virtually so. 189.3 grains. Edge UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * X *. A meticulous strike is visible in the fine details of Washington's epaulet and the eagle's feathers. Medium brown surfaces are of extraordinary smoothness for intensified visual quality. Struck by Obadiah Westwood from dies by John G. Hancock, this is one of the most beautiful and sought-after early Washington issues. |
