John, I keep forgetting that you're here! Yes, an excellent article
on the 2 reales, that I only recently re-read. I've also recently
referred Morris to your article on the Faithful Steward and had a
nice but brief discussion about the possibility of many counterfeit
halfpence having come from Ireland. Do you intend to ever do any
follow-up work in either of these areas?
