John, I have to disagree with your use of "private minter", as Wood was under contract with the King, as I understand it, making him beholdened to the clauses in the contract, which I am sure were exacting, especially with the Tower Mint checking up on him. I doubt he was able to get away with much of anything. David

<tt> <BR> I will wait for the book. Will keep (1) below in the back of my mind <BR> and have no real disagreements with (2) & (3). Perhaps I should have <BR> said the underwieght? coinage had the potential to induce <BR> counterfeiting of the series which is what Swift was saying in the <BR> Drapier's to the general Irish population - not that counterfeits <BR> had already been made & were being found in the marketplace.<BR> The need for copper coinage was obviously there and I guess it will <BR> be difficult to determine on how "succesful" this BRASS coinage was <BR> in Ireland? The short period of this contract does hint on its <BR> success or is this like the COLONIES ... you can NEVER traust a <BR> private minter ... of course not ... <BR> I am not really jumping with both feet into these new ideas or this <BR> new IRISH testament brought out by Brian Danforth. Its certainly was <BR> refreshing and very welcomed in reading these post-Breen <BR> advancements - but to what DEGREE these coins circulated - I for one <BR> need some more evidence even to the point that they were somewhat <BR> accepted by the Irish population - I do believe somewhat based on my <BR> gut feeling as this Irish arena surely mimics the COLONIES in the <BR> late 18th century in terms of needing the HALFPENCE - but I would <BR> like to see some MORE tangibles ... <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> --- In colonial-coins@yahoogroups.com, "Martin, Syd" <sfmartin@c...> <BR> wrote:<BR> > John:=A0 you are still missing a couple of major points:<BR> > <BR> > (1)=A0 Isaac Newton (and/or his nephew) conducted an assay of Wood's <BR> > coins and found them on average to be of true weight [Swift's <BR> argument <BR> > was that the coins surveyed were specially selected -- but without <BR> any <BR> > proof], (2) if you examine Wood's coins, you will find that the <BR> quality <BR> > is better than anything being made in England or most of the <BR> continent <BR> > at the time -- poor workmanship that could be easily counterfeited <BR> is <BR> > not an issue -- and I've never actually seen a contemporary <BR> counterfeit <BR> > Wood's Hibernia; (3) there was indeed a coin shortage in Ireland, <BR> and <BR> > they needed small change.=A0=A0 Swift was mostly ticked off because <BR> (a) he <BR> > had personal problems with the Whigs who cam to power in England <BR> and <BR> > (b) he thought the English Parliament/King should have made the <BR> Irish <BR> > Governor party to any agreement for Irish coinage.<BR> > <BR> > Also, I have developed a theory which will be elaborated in my <BR> upcoming <BR> > book that Wood very cleverly used Swift -- and Swift fell for it.=A0 <BR> I <BR> > can explain if you are interested.<BR> > <BR> > Syd<BR> > <BR> > <BR> > <BR> > <BR> > On Jan 5, 2005, at 11:55 AM, <johnmenc@o...> wrote:<BR> > <BR> > ><BR> > >=A0 My guess is that you "MAY" have a change in opinion after <BR> reading<BR> > >=A0 some of Swift's=A0 merchant examples that he portrays in the<BR> > >=A0 Drapier's ... in terms of merchant transactions and the problems<BR> > >=A0 that will come about if you are a merchant and if you are STUCK <BR> with<BR> > >=A0 Wood's underweight coinage after or during a transaction.
