Paquet, Anthony C. Public Deposited

Bio

  • Born in Hamburg, Germany. Came to America in October 1848. He worked in Philadelphia 1850 to 1855 and in New York City 1856 to 1858, then returned to settle in Philadelphia.

    He was Assistant Engraver of the Mint starting October 20, 1857. He left his official position in 1864. He died in Philadelphia. Paquet produced dies for a new reverse for the twenty dollar gold pieces beginning in 1861. A few were struck and released before the dies were withdrawn because the rims were too narrow. He engraved dies for the first Congressional Medal of Honor.
