Hello one and all,
I have been following the general discussions in the group as to Evasion
coppers. I wish to express my appreciation for all of the information that
has been shared.
I have been conducting research these past few years on Wood's Money and the
fruits of that effort have appeared in a few articles in C-4 and CNL
publications.
Lately, I have expanded my research focus to the 1756-1766 period, which
basically pre-dates the era that group discussions have focused on.
YET, the period that I am researching certainly forms the backdrop for the
Evasions of 1771 and those that followed.
Recently, in reading the English papers of 1758, I came across a very
interesting discussion on an English Evasion copper. The coin in question
was described as follows:
obverse: bust - Queen Mary II
legend - MARIA II DEI GRA (no punctuation marks)
reverse: imprint of a four leaf stemmed rose (somewhat similar to the
Rosa
Americana coin)
legend - EXCANDORE (no punctuations marks) in the
article's text, the
author stated the
legend as " EX CANDORE"
although the coin's
drawing had no spacing
between the letters
In C. Wilson Peck's book entitled: English Copper, Tin and Bronze Coins, he
stated that Evasion coins started to appear in England c.1751, being the year
that the King issued a Proclaimation announcing that the 1742
anti-counterfeiting law was to be enforced.
QUESTION:
Does anyone have any information on English or Irish Evasion coppers of the
1751-1770 era as to descriptive type, denomination, quantity, circulation
patterns, issuer, dates, etc., etc.
I would be very appreciative of learning more about Evasion coppers - Irish
and English - of the pre-1771 era.
THANKS,
God Bless America
Brian
