[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 864663, member: 23874"]Pictured are several unattributed Pre-Federal coins that arrived in the last week: [LIST=1] [*]1787 Massachusetts Cent - Very Good [*]1788 Massachusetts Cent - ab. AG-3 [*]1788 Massachusetts Cent - Fine [*]1787 Connecticut Copper - Fine [/LIST] All of the Massachusetts specimens are raw. The Connecticut specimen is NCS slabbed. I have not had time yet to attribute any of them. I believe that the better two of the three Massachusetts specimens have retained nice coloring, and though are a bit smoothed, have retained a good portion of detail. The third Massachusetts specimen (#2), which I attained for $30 and is rather 'beat-up', I theorize was exposed to an iron-rich environment. Though I already have a multitude of Connecticut specimens, I obtained this one on the 'cheap' for $40. Both the 'AG' Massachusetts and the Connecticut were acquired from the same source. Any comments and thoughts about it are appreciated and welcomed! Thanks, kindly CheetahCats[/QUOTE]
