Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 5:48 pm Hi all, A friend has asked for information about this copper cent but US coins not being my field I thought it'd be a good idea to post it here. Any information will be passed on and no doubt received with thanks. Edited by Hogarth 12/01/2021 5:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 8:08 pm Looks like Massachusetts Cent type Ryder 2b-A. The reverse has die break that extends from the top of the eagle's beak into the letter H above. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 9:03 pm Based on the cloudiness around the date, I wonder if this pic wasn't taken through a slab. Is that correct?

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 03:02 am It looks like it may have been photographed or scanned through a PVC coin envelope.I cropped in order to get the image in under 300dpi. Ryder 2b-A: I'm sure that's a useful starting point for research. Thank you very much. Edited by Hogarth 12/02/2021 03:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/02/2021 11:38 am There are many of them in Heritage auction archives, which is always a good place for research. Search for "1787 Massachusetts cent." You'll need a free login to see prices and larger images. Hard to tell what this one would grade (assuming it's authentic) but it seems to be a rather expensive coin. Report this Post to the Staff
