At the moment I'm holding off on doing anything more on pistareens or
2 reales. The 2 reales paper was very difficult. I would get all
the die varieties arranged and was all set to write the descriptions -
and then Mike Ringo would discover a half dozen new varieties, and I
had to rearrange everything again.
The areas for further research (expanding by analogy) would be
counterfeit Federal quarters (after 1836), counterfeit reales and
medios, and maybe an enumeration of the pistareen die varieties.
Counterfeit reales would be the "easiest" except there would be a
huge number of varieties, so I have always hoped someone else would
do it.
There is a second shoe on the Faithful Steward that has yet to drop:
a museum in Delaware (I believe the Zwandendael Museum) has many of
the coins from the shipwreck. I telephoned them once and they said
the coins in storage and they were very difficult to get at. I
haven't made a trip down there, partly because I am an utter
incompetent with a camera, so I would need to have a photographer in
tow to make the trip worthwhile. But Eric Newman found in his files
a photo that someone had taken of those coins, and I have a decent
photocopy of his photograph. What I found that was interesting was
that there were many different die varieties - so it is an assorted
batch that was shipped.
Excuse my haphazard replies - I lurk and then post, and then get
involved in law school stuff so I don't get back to the list for
months.
Best,
