Canadian Countermark - WENDEL & BRO. on obv. of Province of Canada 20¢, 1858 (M.I. 993, Brunk W-390).

Brunk lists this, as well as two other related marks of the Chicago, Illinois jeweller, Charles Wendel. Perhaps the firm also catered to a small Canadian clientele as indicated by these two specimens, or else they are further examples of the general acceptance of either American or Canadian coins in both countries. These 1858 dated coins are later, though by only a single year, than any of the pieces recorded by Brunk. (Marked Impressions).

Note: this lot is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
