1787 Massachusetts Copper Half Cent, R1-D, W5900, R4. This coin has been authenticated and graded by PCGS as AU50, and it's an original unmolested example with sharp AU details but matte dark chocolate brown color from spending too much time in the slab. Clearly a coin that would really liven up with a good brushing, but nevertheless, the color, surfaces, and eye appeal are extremely nice and the overall look is very attractive. The surfaces are mark-free, but my supersized photos do reveal a spot of red on the reverse at N in CENT, and some darker toning in the left facing eagle's wing. Not really visible in person. Ex-David Lawrence Rare Coins; Furnace Run collection.

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. 1788 Massachusetts Copper Half Cent, R1-B, W6010, R2. This coin has been authenticated and graded by PCGS as VF25, and it is absolutely CHOICE for the assigned grade! Looks pretty good in my photos - right? Well it's absolutely flawless in person: the minor roughness that you think you are seeing in the photos is NOT there in person, instead it is a wonderful cameo contrast of medium brown overall color with darker chocolate toning in the crevices. Just absolutely gorgeous, one of the few coins in this collection that I consider completely CHOICE! Ex-Ebay 2014 via Carter Numismatics; Furnace Run collection 08/20/24.

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. 1788 Massachusetts Copper Cent, Ryder 12-I, Period After Massachusetts, R4-. This coin has been authenticated and graded by PCGS as VF35, and frankly it is VERY undergraded because in hand it faces up as a CHOICE AU. I think PCGS was fooled a bit by the strike on this coin, because the obverse is definitely weaker than the reverse. That reverse is in fact fully AU50+ and I don't know if you call it gloss or luster, but regardless it is gorgeous and CHOICE! To balance my opinion with the PCGS grade, I will roll with CHOICE EF40+, and opine that if CAC were still certifying colonials, that this one would certainly get a sticker! Ex-Ebay 2008; Furnace Run collection 08/20/24.
