Dr. George G. Wilkins, a dentist by trade was the most prolific countermarker of U.S. coins. He was a Pittsfield, New Hampshire dentist whose logotype punch features his name in a curved arc, so as to fit conveniently in the field of a cent in front of Miss Liberty's face.
It is believed to have been applied mostly from about 1857 through the early 1860s.
