- High Condition Census 1788 Ryder 6-N Massachusetts Cent No Period After MASSACHUSETTS 1788 Massachusetts Cent. Ryder 6-N, W-6240. Rarity-3-. No Period After MASSACHUSETTS. MS-62 BN (PCGS). 151.6 grains. A superb coin from this landmark collection that ranks high in the Condition Census from the Ryder 6-N dies. The surfaces glow with deeply faded red throughout, but most dramatically within the protective confines of the legends and close to the devices. Otherwise, pale reddish-brown is the dominate tone. Strong mint luster remains on both sides, the coin having the fresh appearance reminiscent of the famous Nichols Find large cents or Bank of New York Fugio coppers. Bluntly struck at the centers, with little of the finer detail showing and in its place light, natural planchet roughness. A small patch of this granularity is also seen right of the Indian. In the lower right quadrant of the obverse a meandering retained lamination is visible. This is a very handsome coin overall. Provenance: Ex Anthony Terranova, 2002; our sale of the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers, Spring 2019 Baltimore Auction, lot 8049. PCGS# 45419. NGC ID: 2B28.
