Massachusetts. Impressive EF 1787 Half Cent

Description

Ryder-2A. The glossy deep golden-tan surfaces are devoid of marks other than some tiny planchet abnormalities, as struck. The eye appeal is substantial for the grade. An excellent coin in all regards, and a variety that is nothing short of elusive in EF or finer.
