1788 Massachusetts Cent, MS62 Brown
Better Ryder 3-A Variety

1788 Massachusetts Cent, Period, Ryder 3-A, W-6210, Low R.4, MS62 Brown PCGS. A low first 8 in the date is a pick-up point for the scarce Ryder 3-A. The variety is conditionally rare, and this is the first example to our knowledge to appear in a Heritage auction certified as Mint State. The unmarked mahogany-brown surfaces display minor flan granularity near 9 o'clock on the reverse, and a spot rests below the M in MASSACHUSETTS. Listed on page 30 of the 2026 Guide Book.
