- New York--New York. Undated (1837) Abraham Riker. HT-306, Low-154, W-NY-900-15a. Rarity-3. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.3 mm. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Coin alignment, with a slight clockwise offset. Glossy copper-brown patina with remnants of vivid rose-apricot color in the protected areas around some of the design elements. Overall boldly struck with a smooth and attractive appearance. This is the scarcer of Riker's two varieties, distinguished from the more common HT-305 by a line under the word CENT and the berries in the reverse wreath arranged six in, two out. Both varieties share the same obverse. A rarity in Mint State, the present example of further desirability due to its impressive provenance. Provenance: Ex Virgil M. Brand; Horace Louis Philip Brand; our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Michael Brand Zeddies Collection, Selections from the Boyd, Brand & Ryder Collections sale, March 1990, lot 427; our (Stack's) sale of the Collections of James E. Dice & M. Lamar Hicks, July 2008, lot 3184; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with (partially incorrect) attribution and provenance notes included.
