Help attributing very worn 1787 Massachusetts Cent

phnatacc

Weighs 158 grains. Sure seems "okay" in-hand. Normally I don't have any problems attributing Early US copper and most colonials, but this one has me whipped.

First photo is just provided to give a more accurate in-hand look...





Second photo lightened significantly to allow for easier attribution...



Thanks for looking.

Original! (IMHO)

Probably has something to do with the 60's

The wear on the rev. makes this tough, but I'm going to opine that it's a Ryder 2-E.

That is a very cool coin that even the biggest copper scareddy cats could love like me.

Thanks Kaz. I was definitely leaning toward 2-E myself. Still some differences in the reference images I have for 2-E, but at least someone else leans that direction also.

Thanks for the kind comments from others also. Its worn old boy, but pleasingly un-messed-with.
