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 a reference to a US half cent struck over a Massachusetts half cent, but=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= =20 to hear form anyone who has, or has seen, Massachusetts copper errors=20 other than clips.

(I did once see a reference to a US half cent struck over a = 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= ot the result of striking problems. I'd like to hear form anyone who = has, or has seen, Massachusetts copper errors other than clips.</div><div><= br></div><div>Mike P</div></div><div><br> On Oct 07, 2015, at 08:28 PM, "<a= href=3D"mailto:Gry1564@aol.com" data-mce-href=3D"mailto:Gry1564@aol.com">G= ry1564@aol.com</a> [colonial-coins]" <<a href=3D"mailto:colonial-coins@y= ahoogroups.com" data-mce-href=3D"mailto:colonial-coins@yahoogroups.com">col= onial-coins@yahoogroups.com</a>> wrote:<br> <br></div><div><blockquote><= div class=3D"msg-quote" style=3D"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dat= a-mce-style=3D"background-color: #ffffff;"><span> </span><div id=3D"yg= rp-mlmsg"><div id=3D"ygrp-msg"><div id=3D"ygrp-text"><div><br></div><div><s= pan style=3D'color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "arial"; font-size: small;' = data-mce-style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'arial'; font-size: small;">= Bunch of Arrows on the Obv. bust.</span></div><div> </div><div><div>In= a message dated 10/7/2015 8:23:08 P.M.
