1788 1C Massachusetts Cent, Period, Ryder 1-D, W-6190, R.3, MS63 Brown NGC. Ex: R.C. Davis. Ryder 1-D features the only use of both dies. This example is among the finer-known pieces, exhibiting sharp central definition and glossy surfaces that show shades of medium olive-brown and auburn. A little more of the usual planchet roughness appears in the border recesses than is seen on the Norweb coin offered in the previous lot, a characteristic to which this die variety seems unusually prone. Listed on page 61 of the 2018 Guide Book.
Ex: R. Coulton Davis Collection; Public Auction Sale (Lester Merkin, 10/1972), lot 493; Donald Groves Partrick.
