Download or read book Early Spanish and Portuguese Coinage in America Classic Reprint written by James Carson Brevoort and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Spanish and Portuguese Coinage in America Torquemada, in his Monarchia Indiana, Vol. I, p. 614, gives a rather confused account of the successive coinages in Mexico. He describes the ingots, quoit-shaped plates and gold-dust, used in exchanges, and how the Indians, unable to weigh or determine the value of the metal, were defrauded. Copper coins were then struck of four types, cuartos, half-cuartos, four and two maravedis, but the date of their issue is not given. The author says that this coinage was similar to one in use in Spain and in the Island of San Domingo. The Mexican copper coins were so distasteful to the natives that no ordinance could keep them in circulation, and they were tossed into the lake; two hundred thousand pesos worth of copper being thus lost in one year. That so much Copper should have been coined is improbable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Seavey Collection of American Coins It was nevertheless urged by many gentlemen interested in the science of numismatology, that, as almost every coin bearing the stamp of the national mint, and a large proportion of the early colonial and State issues, were described in this Catalogue, its publication would be of service to the public. In accordance with this view the present owner decided to proceed with the issue of a small edition, limited strictly to one hundred and fifty copies, and to offer these to subscribers at three dollars a copy. In the arrangement of his cabinet, Mr. Seavey had adopted the plan of placing the coins of each year together, thus combining the gold, silver, and copper coins of every date in one View.

Download or read book History of Coinage and Currency in the United States and the Perennial Contest for Sound Money Classic Reprint written by A. Barton Hepburn and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Coinage and Currency in the United States and the Perennial Contest for Sound Money "Of making many books there is no end," and yet this volume seems to possess features which justify its creation. The general subject of this history has, in its different phases, been treated by many authors; but I believe there is no one work of convenient size and popular character covering the history of the coinage and currency of the United States, with data and details in chronological order, available as a book of reference. The crucial questions relating to coinage and currency which have involved the material and political interests of the country so largely throughout its history, and especially for the past quarter of a century, and the honest difference which many people have experienced in reaching right conclusions, demonstrate the present need of such a work. Most important currency questions remain to be solved, and this volume seeks to furnish a busy public, in convenient form, the experience of the past to aid in such solution. The aim has been to place before the reader original data, so as to enable him to examine the same and reach his own conclusions. A documentary history pure and simple would be so voluminous as to possess little value save to the student and economist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coin Book: Comprising a History of Coinage; A Synopsis of the Mint Laws of the United States; Statistics of the Coinage From 1792 to 1870; List of Current Gold and Silver Coins, and Their Custom House Values An inquiry, therefore, into the coinage of a country like great britain, from the earliest times, possesses an interest apart from the subject itself as a mere antiquarian research, because it throws an indirect ray of light on the social condition of the people from age to age, and enables us to note the progressive steps of their improve ment in taste, refinement, and mechanical invention, as well as to ascertain their comparative wealth and social comfort, indicated by the value of the necessary articles of life. The subject partakes not, indeed, of the true dignity and importance of history; but, in a less ambitious channel of research, it is not without utility and instruction.
