Ray,
Thanks for the link, I have that site bookmarked. I should have looked
there first.
I did find a page that addresses my particular question:
http://www.nysun.com/article/7214
"These images' resemblance to those of King George III and Britannia
on contemporary British pennies was intentional: It made the coins
comfortably familiar to users. Handsome coins of satisfying weight,
they circulated for many years."
The author of the article does not cite his sources. I'll just have
to keep looking.
Thanks,
Joe

like to think of them as being a poor man's pattern coinage. But
there's too many of them to actually be considered a pattern. Here's
a link to some good info:
