    Jack,


    Usually you can see some of the undertype--most often part of the=20
    Eagle's wing or a talon and some of the arrow shafts, as on this piece,=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 confident that there are more of each waiting to be=20
    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%=20
    off-center. =C2=A0All are 1788 Ryder 3-E cents. =C2=A0M y theory is that th=
    e=20
    coiner got his fingers pinched and was very tentative when inserting the=20
    next few planchets into the press. =C2=A0I haven't found a blood-stained 3-=
    E=20
    to support this, however. =C2=A0I've never seen a double-struck or brockage=
    =20
    Massachusetts copper nor one struck over another coin. =C2=A0(I did once se=
    e=20

    have never been able to track it down.) =C2=A0Some Massachusetts
    coppers have planchet problems--striations, laminations and=20
    de-laminations, non-copper metal inclusions from incomplete or careless=20
    smelting, and variable thickness planchets that cause obverse and=20
    reverse striking weakness in the thin areas. =C2=A0I hesitate to call these=
    =20
    errors because they are not the result of striking problems. =C2=A0I'd like=

    Massachusetts half cent, but have never been able to track it down.)  =
    Some Massachusetts
    coppers have planchet problems--striations, laminations and de-laminations=
    , non-copper metal inclusions from incomplete or careless smelting, and var=
    iable thickness planchets that cause obverse and reverse striking weakness =
    in the thin areas.  I hesitate to call these errors because they are n=

    has, or has seen, Massachusetts copper errors other than clips.</div><div><=
