Bowers, Q. David
(Bowers and Merena Galleries, 1987)
Dr. George G. Wilkins, who practiced dentistry in Pittsfield, N.H., in the 19th century, advertised his trade by counter-stamping coins in circulation, particularly one-cent coins. The author, a coin collector, provides us with a history of counterstamped coins & an interesting profile of Dr. Wilkins.
