Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Coins and Tokens It is well to remember, as evidenced by these gradual marks of degeneration, that the ruder coins are not, as might well be (and indeed have usually been) supposed, the oldest, but are, in fact, later than others of a higher and more artistic character. In other words, some of these series of coins, instead of showing the onward and gradual progress of art from a first rude attempt up to a highly finished work, serve to exhibit step by step its gradual degeneracy and decline down to ultimate extinction.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coins and Tokens of the Possessions and Colonies of the British Empire The great and ever-increasing interest which is manifested in all that appertains to the Colonies and Dependencies of the British Empire, is a quite sufficient justification for the production, at this time, of a. Work devoted to a consideration of the Coins and Tokens which have, from time to time, been struck for, or been current in, these places. In addition to this, all who at any time may have acquired any such coins (and most persons who are collectors must have done so), as well as systematic seekers after them, have felt the want of some work of reference, to which to turn for guidance and direction. Yet, notwithstanding the importance of the subject, to the best of my belief no attempt has, up to the present, been made to give as a whole, anything approaching a complete or comprehensive list of our Colonial Coins and Tokens. And so it has come to pass; whilst every other branch of Numismatic lore has been written upon, over and over again, this large and important section of the coins of our own Empire has been almost entirely neglected.

This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Coins, Tokens, and Medals in the Numismatic Collection of the Mint of the United States at Philadelphia, Pa With the view of relieving to some extent the money stringency oi the colony, Massachusetts in 1651 projected a mint for the coinage of silver. Preliminary arrangements were speedily made, and in the following year the mint was opened at Boston and began operations by striking the almost plain New England Shilling (pl. 1, the Sixpence and Threepence. The standard of fineness of the new coin was the same as the correspond ing English coin. It is very improbable that there was any intention to continue long such a simple form of coin as this piece is, being in fact but little more than a plain disk. For it must have been apparent at once that the coins could be easily clid and also fraudulently washed until their weight and value were seriously reduced. It is very likely that the exceedingly simple form of the first issue was the result of great haste to get the mint into operation, and that the preparation of other and more suitable dies was begun at once on the opening of the mint, and that they were put into use as soon as completed. At any rate, in the same year of 1652, the series with a tree on the obverse and on the reverse N EW eng lan D ano. With the date and value within a beaded circle, was begun.

Download or read book Chats on Old Coins Classic Reprint written by Frederick William Burgess and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chats on Old Coins Recognizing not only that the blood-relationship of the freeborn sons of American soil makes the coinage of the Old World which their forefathers handled interesting to them, but that the coins used by dwellers in the United States and in Canada are valued by English collectors, I have given prominence to American currencies. The British regal coinage has so frequently been supplemented by token issues, which have for a time become a part of the national currency, that l have included in Chats on Old Coins a few chapters on tokens. As an old collector of many years' standing, I have at different times specialized on nearly all the branches of numismatic research referred to; and I believe there are many others, too, who are interested in the study of coins and tokens from the broader standpoint of the coinage of Greece, Rome, and all English-speaking nations, to whom such a book as I have aimed at providing will be welcome. The illustrations, which are very representative, should be helpful to many. They are numerous, and cover a wide field. Many of them are illustrative of pieces in my own collections, and others have been secured by the courtesy of collectors to whom my thanks are due. I wish to acknowledge the kindness of the Keeper of Coins at the British Museum for giving me facilities in illustrating some of the coins in the national collection. I would also place on record my indebtedness to Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson Hodge, who have allowed me to reproduce illustra tions of many fine coins which have passed through their hands. The illustrations of tokens are from a fine collection formed nearly one hundred years ago, and were their carefully engraved. If my efforts to convey useful and chatty information on the several branches of collecting outlined encourage any of my readers to go deeper into the fascinating hobby of collecting coins which teach history, I shall be more than satisfied.
