- 1788 Massachusetts Half Cent. Ryder 1-B, W-6010. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS).
This is a sharply struck, nearly uncirculated example with a generally smooth satin texture to both sides. The surfaces are hard and tight with pale lilac and golden-apricot undertones to dominant autumn-brown patina. Minor retained laminations near the eagle's beak and the letter H in WEALTH are as made, a thin scuff along the arrow in the Native American's hand is the only mark of note. Definitely a handsome and desirable example of both the type and die pairing.
Provenance: From Heritage's Long Beach Signature Coin Auction of February 2007, lot 2029.
PCGS# 308. NGC ID: 2B23.
