Description
Important 1788 Massachusetts Ryder 3-A Cent, AU58
1788 1C Massachusetts Cent, Period AU58 NGC. Ryder 3-A, W-6210, Low R.4. Essentially Mint State details with slight evidence of roughness on the medium brown and olive surfaces. In the new Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia, Dave Bowers writes that this variety is "rare above Extremely Fine."Struck from dies made by Jacob Perkins. "Cents made with Perkins' dies have closed S's that resemble 8's and all are dated 1788," according to Will Nipper in his book In Yankee Doodle's Pocket. His reference was published in 2008, and may qualify as one of the great unsung modern Colonial references.
