1787 Massachusetts Cent, MS61 Brown
Ryder 2b-E, Believed Second-Finest Known

1787 CENT Massachusetts Cent, Arrows Left, R. 2b-E, W-6060, R.4, MS61 Brown NGC. Ex: Donald G. Partrick Collection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second-finest known of this elusive variety, and one of only two currently known in Mint State. This piece is from a mildly later die state than the Norweb coin, with the reverse die crack slightly more advanced. The central design elements are also a bit more softly struck, as is typical of this issue. Orange-brown and auburn hues encompass the glossy surfaces on both sides. Listed on page 59 of the 2024 Guide Book.
Ex: Jon Hanson (4/2008); Donald Groves Partrick; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 5696; Chicago Signature (Heritage, 10/2018), lot 3278.
