1860 Ezra Hill - Coin Dealer / 1860 Woodgate, New York, 29mm Diameter Copper, Mule, Miller-NY-335
This double dated, duel merchant muling was probably made to order at the request of J.N.T. Levick who was a representative for Woodgate to own something unique and create rarities within the Merchant store card series. The Woodgate die was cut by George H. Lovett and the Hill by William F. Key which comes as no surprise as it was quite common for die-sinkers in the 1850-60's to swap dies for token collector special strikings. Ezra Hill was a early New York coin collector who operated as a dealer from 1858 until just before his death in 1867 and his personal collection/inventory was later offered in auction sales.
I think I already posted my Monitor in a past C4TW thread, but I can't remember, so here 'tis. I wish I had better pix of it.
And here's a bronze unit (AE17) of Phillip II of Macedonia (359-336 BC), father of Alexander the Great. This was one of my last newps this spring before I took a summer vacation from numismatics. It was quite affordable ($75-ish) and has really great patina.
