Trested, Richard: Trested, who came to American from England, was a prominent die sinker in the 1820s, but only a few of his products (the Castle Garden token and his own advertising tokens; a nice article about this token is in our backlog for a future Rare Coin Review) are specifically signed. Russell Rulau believed he may have cut some dies for the Scovill Co. in Waterbury, CT, and may have done dies for early tokens of Doremus, Suydam & Nixon. In any event, by 1821 he was set up in business as a die sinker at 70 William St., an address soon changed to 68 William Street, which endured until his death (on January 13, 1829, from an infection arising from an amputated finger).
