1787 Massachusetts Cent, MS62 Brown
Ryder 4-D, Bowed Head
Tied for Third Finest Known

1787 CENT Massachusetts Cent, Arrows Left, Bowed Head, R. 4-D, W-6110, High R.3, MS62 Brown PCGS. The head of the native American on the obverse appears to have his head bowed. With a population of 200 to 250 coins, the Ryder 4-D is scarce but not particularly rare ... unless it grades Mint State. We have located just three Mint State pieces in ours and Stack's Bowers' online archives. The present example is a fourth Mint State piece. A lovely example, this copper combined reddish-tan, chocolate-brown, and delicate steel-blue toning on both sides with a bold strike. A few trivial marks at the upper right obverse will aid in tracking this piece among past auction appearances. Population: 4 in 62 Brown, 12 finer (12/20), the data for all 1787 Massachusetts cent varieties combined. Listed on page 63 of the 2021 Guide Book.
