Description
1788 Massachusetts Cent
Ryder 11-F, MS62 Brown
1788 1C Massachusetts Cent, Period MS62 Brown NGC. R. 11-F,
W-6310, R.5. An elusive variety that is rare in high grades.
There are likely only 45 to 50 of these known in all grades. Finer
examples include the ANS and Taylor Collection coins, and one or
two others, according to Mike Packard. Other examples include the
VF Norweb coin, and the damaged Fine piece in the Ford Collection.
The olive and steel surfaces of this example are pleasing, despite
some minor roughness and flaws, such as the obverse flaw at 2
o'clock. Both sides retain considerable cartwheel luster.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Mary Cruzan; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
