- 1787 1C Massachusetts Cent XF40 NGC. R. 2b-C, W-6050, R.4. There are eight known obverse dies, and 10 reverse dies for the 1787 Massachusetts cents, and those dies were combined to create 14 varieties that range from common to extremely rare. Obverse 2 was used for five different 1787 marriages, and one 1788 variety. Among those dated 1787 are the common Horned Eagle, and the extremely rare Transposed Arrows varieties. Ryder 2b-C falls in the middle rarity range. This example, despite trivial rim marks including one on the obverse at 7 o'clock that is hidden by a tab, has smooth olive-brown surfaces with excellent eye appeal. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $10.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,527.50.

- 1788 1/2 C Massachusetts Half Cent XF45 NGC. R. 1-B, W-6010, R.2. Despite the light granularity, this is a pleasing example of the plentiful 1788 Ryder 1-B half cent, with steel-brown surfaces and faint bluish overtones. A small mark is noted below the right foot on the obverse, with another in the upper obverse field. A few other trivial marks are consistent with the grade. This is an excellent type example for someone who seeks the Green-Newman provenance. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $5.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,116.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1788 1/2 C Massachusetts Half Cent AU58 NGC. R. 1-A, W-6000, High R.4. Michael Hodder rated this variety High R.4 in the Ford catalog, and Q. David Bowers called it "URS-7 or 8" in the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins. Our own experience suggests that it may deserve a full R.5 rating. Our brief survey includes just 13 examples of this variety, compared to 137 appearances of Ryder 1-B. However, at least three Mint State examples are known, and the Newman piece falls at the low end of the Condition Census. Both sides are glossy with intermingled steel-brown and light tan, showing excellent design definition and minimal handling marks. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $20.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $8,225.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 1/2 C Massachusetts Half Cent MS64 Brown NGC. R. 6-D, W-5980, R.6. Obverse 6 has a die crack from the upper left serif of the E on all examples we have seen, including Ryder 6-A and 6-D. Reverse D has the arrow shafts forming a distinctive "V" shape between the eagle's leg and tail feathers. Less than 5% of 1787 Massachusetts half cents in our survey were examples of Ryder 6-D, and the Newman example is the finest in that survey, although Mike Packard has heard of a finer example. This piece has exceptional olive-brown surfaces with satin luster, and traces of golden-tan that has faded from original mint red. Evidence of a weak strike appears on the tunic, and on the shield below CENT. The dies were improperly aligned in the press, with the right obverse border bold, and the left reverse border similarly bold. Those are opposing locations on this piece that was struck with 180 degree (coin turn) alignment. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $12.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $22,912.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 1/2 C Massachusetts Half Cent MS64 Brown NGC. R. 5-A, W-5960, R.3. The 1787 Massachusetts half cent series combined six obverse dies and four reverse dies to create nine varieties. Those varieties can be classified as common (Ryder 4-C and 5-A), scarce (1-D, 2-A, and 4-B), rare (3-A, 6-A, and 6-D), and extremely rare (4-D). Of the two common varieties, the 5-A offered here is seen with about half the frequency of 4-C. We recently conducted a limited review of Massachusetts copper coinage, noting 61 examples of this die marriage from a total survey of 317 1787-dated half cents. This example has satiny dark chocolate and olive-brown surfaces with traces of verdigris on the obverse, but no other imperfections of note on either side. The strike is typical of the variety and the series, with weak details at the center of the obverse, especially at the right half of the tunic. Traces of lighter gold appear at the upper reverse, faded from original mint red. Several Mint State examples of this variety are known, and the Newman coin is probably among the top 20.
