Massachusetts coppers typically feature an Indian figure on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, among the most artistically distinctive of the state coinages. A Very Fine example retains good detail for a colonial copper of this age. An important piece of pre-federal American monetary history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bigapplecoins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67879931773247,"sku":"LC-108","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/8860\/9087\/files\/57_6cd1794f-7495-456b-b430-ffb62c9fb35d.jpg?v=1793121255","url":"https:\/\/bigapplecoins.com\/products\/1788-massachusetts-cent-1c-colonial-vf-very-fine","provider":"Bigapplecoins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
