    It would be useful to have a basis for estimating the max (or
    average) number of coppers per die in the 1785-1790 period.

    One reference I have come across is a quote from AJN, 1997 by S.E.
    Buttrey and T.V. Buttrey (apologies to Mike H. on this source)
    p.116 "....the spread of 12000-70000 coins per die attested at the
    Royal Mint during 1874-76 is ..."

    Given that this was 85 years after 1790, a reasonable max estimate
    might be 40,000.

    Phil Mossman in Money ... p 194 says 18,000-50,000 per die.(I am not
    clear on his source, however)

    Any ideas out there?
