Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1788 Massachusetts Cent Ryder 11-C Rarity-5 PCGS graded VF20. Variety with a period following MASSACHUSETTS. Slightly glossy dark chocolate brown and steel with lighter chocolate brown toning on the highpoints. A glass reveals microscopic roughness in the fields and protected areas but there is no verdigris. The only mark is a dull dent on the second M in COMMON. The date and legends are complete and clear. A decent example of a tough variety. Listed on page 59 in the "Redbook."
Estimated Value $200-UP.
