    Jack,


    Usually you can see some of the undertype--most often part of the=20

    but sometimes part of the Indian or letters. =C2=A0=C2=A0


    All the 16.3-Ns struck over Massachusetts cents that I could attribute=20
    have been struck over 1787 Ryder 1-B cents. =C2=A0I know of about 14 1-B=20
    cents and 25-30 examples that were host planchets for 16.3-Ns. =C2=A0I'm=20
    confident that there are more of each waiting to be discovered.


    I've seen few error coins in the Massachusetts copper series. =C2=A0The mos=
    t=20
    common error, by far, is clipped planchets. =C2=A0I've seen two half cent=20
    pieforts (half cents struck on cent-thickness planchets). =C2=A0 I think=20
    these and a white metal half cent were test strikes. =C2=A0I've also seen=20
    three off-center
    strikes--one about 40% off-center--and two about 5% off-center. =C2=A0All=
    =20
    are 1788 Ryder 3-E cents. =C2=A0M y theory is that the coiner got his finge=
    rs=20
    pinched and was very tentative when inserting the next few planchets=20
    into the press. =C2=A0I haven't found a blood-stained 3-E to support this,=
    =20
    however. =C2=A0I've never seen a double-struck or brockage Massachusetts=20
    copper nor one struck over another coin. =C2=A0(I did once see a reference =
    to=20
    a US half cent struck over a Massachusetts half cent, but have never=20
    been able to track it down.) =C2=A0Some Massachusetts coppers have planchet=
    =20
    problems--striations, laminations and de-laminations, non-copper metal=20
    inclusions from incomplete or careless smelting, and variable thickness=20
    planchets that cause obverse and reverse striking weakness in the thin=20
    areas. =C2=A0I hesitate to call these errors because they are not the resul=

    cent were test strikes.  I've also seen three off-center
    strikes--one about 40% off-center--and two about 5% off-center.  All =
    are 1788 Ryder 3-E cents.  M y theory is that the coiner got his finge=
    rs pinched and was very tentative when inserting the next few planchets int=
    o the press.  I haven't found a blood-stained 3-E to support this, how=
    ever.  I've never seen a double-struck or brockage Massachusetts coppe=
    r nor one struck over another coin.  (I did once see a reference to a =
    US half cent struck over a Massachusetts half cent, but have never been abl=
    e to track it down.)  Some Massachusetts coppers have planchet problem=
    s--striations, laminations and de-laminations, non-copper metal inclusions =
    from incomplete or careless smelting, and variable thickness planchets that=
    cause obverse and reverse striking weakness in the thin areas.  I hes=
    itate to call these errors because they are not the result of striking prob=
    lems.  I'd like to hear form anyone who has, or has seen, Massachusett=
    s copper errors other
    than clips.</div><div><br></div><div>Mike P</div></div><div><br> On Oct 07=
