Coin dealer Wuesthoff was located at 113 Canal Street, New York City, in the 1880s. In October 1956, Paul Franklin made examples of this type in gold, silver, copper/bronze and brass when the dies were on loan from F.C.C. Boyd. The dies went to John Ford, who sold them, with later owners including a Dr. Hudson and, most notably, Robert Bashlow, who struck additional pieces. It is not known who made the dies. Our last offering for a silver example of this type was in June 2025, when a Mint State piece realized $960. This is the first overstruck example that we can recall handling, its lightly and attractively toned surfaces revealing a bold mingling of the design elements from both the host coin and the Wuesthoff dies.
