1837 Abraham Riker, New York, HT-306 / Low-154, Rarity-3, Hard Times Token

Provenance: Virgil M. Brand, James E. Dice & M. Lamar Hicks, Stephen L. Tanenbaum.

The PCGS slab was severely mutilated in auction lot viewing and needed to be heavily polished. I spent enough time on the back, but needed to work on the front a bit more. There's some white squiggles on the obverse photo which are deep acrylic scratches. I'll be cracking it out soon anyway to conserve the verdigris spot and will re-shoot it raw. My photo still reflects what the token actually looks like in hand as the True-View is too dark and overly orange.

To Err Is Human.... To Collect Err's Is Just Too Much Darn Tootin Fun!
