<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7870217, member: 101855&quot;]The Massachusetts copper coins were the best made pieces from the pre-federal era. They were struck on high quality planchets, and the dies were well executed. The trouble was when the Massachusetts Government added up the face value of the coins they had produced in 1787 and ‘88, and compared that with what it cost to produce them, the production costs exceed the face value. That ended the coinage. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unlike the other state coinages, the mint was run by the government, not private concerns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
