1787 Massachusetts Half Cent. Ryder 4-B (R-5)
|
AU |
$800.00
|
69.7 grains. About Uncirculated, nearly Mint State in strict terms of wear. Olive-brown surfaces exhibit even, light porosity in addition to some ancient, long since toned over scratches and some ruddy verdigris at the edges of the devices and legends. The peripheries are very well struck and defined, while the central portions of both sides are weak or even undefined in terms of detail. Here... more |

1787 Massachusetts Cent. Transposed Arrows. Ryder 2a-F. Rarity-6+
|
AG to G |
$16,000.00
|
144.1 grains. About Good to Good. The variety with the arrows in the eagle's right talons (the viewer's left) rather than in the eagle's left talons. The devices are fully present, and the all-important transposition of the arrows and olive branch is clearly visible on this well worn specimen. Central devices display better than Good detail, but the peripheral legends and date are weak... more |

|
CH VF |
$600.00
|
150.4 grains. Choice Very Fine. Nice olive brown with some considerable ''wood grain'' surface effect visible on each side. Surfaces mostly smooth and hard, those on the reverse a little rougher than on the front. Some light rim tics both sides, small bruises above 'M' and 'HU' on the reverse. Struck from the broken state of the reverse, the die linearly failing at the lower right engaging... more |

1787 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 6-G (R-4-). Stout Indian
|
VF |
$650.00
|
154.6 grains. Very Fine. Both the obverse and reverse are a deep brown in color. Obverse scratched in the left field, flawed above the first 'M', rim ragged at right; reverse microgranular around the periphery, soft in the center, lightly flawed down from the rim at the upper left and right. |

|
CH AU |
$1,900.00
|
152.7 grains. Choice About Uncirculated. Nice olive green and brown. Obverse surface mostly smooth and hard; reverse striated diagonally down from the upper left to lower right. Minor porosity around the rims. Centers typical, the reverse sharper than the obverse with full CENT legible. |

1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 12-I (R-4-). Choice Uncirculated
|
CH UNC |
$6,000.00
|
Chestnut brown surfaces boast a distinct gloss with lustre and extremely subdued golden mint color populating the open fields. Strike is bold, with some weakness at the very highest points, while magnification reveals a distinct graininess at the peripheries, as is inherent to this coin's planchet. The inferior Ford AU had a much more advanced micrograularity, and this current specimen leaves... more |
