The "Bowed Head" variety. Slightly glossy light to medium chocolate brown with a couple swipes of darker olive brown on the obverse. The only notable contact marks are two very light, old scratches on the lower right part of the eagle. No corrosion or verdigris, but there is some soft dirt around the Indian. The eagle side is stronger than the Indian side but the date is strong and the legends are clear. Only 8 examples of this variety are known today, so it is a real prize for the serious collector of Massachusetts coppers. Our grade is VG10 on the obverse (Indian side) and F12+ on the reverse. See page 59 in the 2023 "Redbook." The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
