1788 Massachusetts No Period

VG10 BN

NGC 6705735001

$300

Post Colonial Massachusetts Coppers were issued in 1787 and 1788. The obverse depicts an Indian holding bow and arrow, the reverse with a spread eagle. For the 1788 one cents, there are two major varieties collected, "With Period" and "No Period" after MASSACHUSETTS. This example the slightly more rare "No period" variety which is noted on the holder. The NO PERIOD variety is listed on the NGC holder. Rims and major design elements are good for the grade, the two 8's in the date are weak. The eagle feather detail above the arrows is good. Original.

This Early Large Cent is attributed as S-163 with Style 1 Hair , Style 2 letters and Small 8. The Style 1 hair is easily identified as it lacks an extra curl on the interior between the outer curl and Miss Liberty's drapery. The style 2 letters thicker than Style 1, the R is wider and a good comparison.  The Small 8 with a gap to the bust line. The 9 with partial knob closer to denticles than the drapery. On the reverse, the 1 in denominator distant, fraction bar thin to the right. Obverse and reverse die cracks. Original.

AU Details

NGC 8479982010

$2,100

The 1810/09 overdate was made when a 1809 die, different from the one used for the coinage in 1809 was over punched with 1 and 0 digits. The NGC holder lists the S-281 variety with "AU Details, Environmental Damage". To my eye, the Environmental Damage is quite light, not readily apparent unless carefully studied under magnification. The overdate is quite strong with traces of the O readily seen to both the left and right of the 1 digit. Attractively priced for the quality offered, as a comparison is straight grade AU the Greysheet currently shows $5200 and in XF40 $2400. A darker toning spot is noted under Miss Liberty's bust above the 1 and 0 digits, much less apparent in hand then with my image. Current comparative listings are asking for a much higher amount. Serious offers are welcomed. Details
