John,
Carl Wurtzbach was an early 1900s (1920s) colector of Americana but
well known for Colonials and Large Cents. Also, a past President of
ANA I think. Anyway, in 1937 he published a set of plates of Mass
Silver from his collection that was beleived to be the most
comprehensive collection and plates of the time. The coins had a
who's who provinance. Because of the time the Plates were issued, it
uses Crosby and not Noe Numbers so you need to do some work to
attribute.
From here, what happens is a little murky for me and perhaps others
can help me fill in the blanks, but I think this collection ends up
becoming a large part of the Noe Plate collection which ends up with
Ford and presumably will be auctioned off in the near future.
I think the Wurtzbach Plates are acquirable although I do not recall
having seen a set in the recent past.
