Oldgrouchyguy Rest in Peace United States 632 Posts	Posted 01/14/2023 6:03 pm Woke up my friend, who actually did write The Book on Massachusetts colonial copper coins, at midnight to buy this coin when I saw it 'live'. I've been looking for and at Mass pennies for as long as he has, and I've never seen another either. I can't recall seeing it with a CT, NJ or VT colonial as well. Apparently, it was struck after, not before, a big chunk of laminated surface fell off the obverse. Maybe someone has another example? What's interesting about this one is the letter T2 of MASS... is clear at the edge on that bar that separates the two laminated fields: above the bar the metal separated after being struck, below that it separated before striking.
