nwc coin Pillar of the Community United States 516 Posts	Posted 04/06/2012 8:15 pm Got this as a present from my Dad - first colonial. It'll be one I always hold onto. I believe it's a W-6190, Ryder 1-D. I'm not very good at grading these though.. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/06/2012 9:30 pm Haven't researched the die charts on this one but looks like a nice, original VG. Most of the Massachusetts Cents I've seen have above average planchets as compared to other post Colonial issues. It's also from your dad which makes it that much more awesome! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/06/2012 10:05 pm 1788: The year Captain Arthur Philip landed in Botany Bay To start the first British Colony in Australia. That was on the 26th of Janurary - Australia day. The settlement was soon to be moved to Sydney Cove In Port Jackson, where the City of Sydney is now located. I am less qulaified than most to grade this coin, but I will stick my neck out and say: 'VG'. I wish I had one! Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 04/10/2012 1:11 pm It might actually be a choice VF. Some coins just have terrible strikes and didn't see much circulation. You really need to ask a colonial expert, though. Try out the PCGS or NGC forums. Edited by Prethen 04/10/2012 1:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 04/10/2012 3:01 pm I was thinking higher than VG also, but I have little knowledge in grading Colonials. Nice problem free planchet and well centered strike. A coin to be cherished forever! Report this Post to the Staff
