Good Morning Guys and Gals,
Yesterday, with the freezing weather outside, I settled into my
recliner with a large cup of coffee and CNL 152. I reread John
Kleeberg's article, which comprised almost the entire issue. His topic
was about the circulation of Lion Dollars in British North America and
he comes up with well researched new information - conclusions that I
would have never thought possible. Now... of what interest is this to
those that collect Connecticut Coppers (or anything else)? Many of us
have blinders on and only dwell withing the narrow focus of a
specialty. I was like that with NJ Coppers for a decade or more. Any
catalog that didn't have significant NJ Coppers was delegated to be
given away at a local club.
As I "matured" in the hobby, my interests spread out to learning
more about the other state coppers, and then the MA & MD Silver, and
then the Washington-related items, and then the "foreign" coins that
composed the bulk of our colonial monies. Having a better knowledge of
the entire colonial numismatic history and coinage has made the hobby
much more fun and rewarding. It even helps me have a better
appreciation for the NJ Coppers in which I specialize. I could go on
about how much fun it is to read about the Spanish American 8 Real coin
and that it was really a lot of money to the common man back then,
another that was from a shipwreck off the coast of Australia, a French
Ecu that might have been in the pocket of a French soldier fighting side
by side with our Minutemen. The couple pieces of MA Silver and MD
silver have fascinating stories about why they exist, their purpose, the
men that made them, the economic climate that brought them about, etc.
But I won't go on...
I would like to recommend that you check out
http://numismatics.org/CNL/CNL and go to the bottom of the page. Click on:
* Kays, T. "When Cross Pistareens Cut Their Way Through the Tobacco Colonies <http://numismatics.org/wikiuploads/CNL/Pistareens.pdf>,"
I'd suggest printing out the article and reading in your recliner, take
it on a business trip, leave it on the headboard of your bed. See if
this article doesn't give you a rewarding view of our colonial time
period and some of the coins in circulation.
Have a great day!
Ray
PS... Diane started to discuss getting new living room furniture and
asked my opinion. I suggested that instead of wasting money on couches
and love seats, why not just purchase six more recliners. I fear that I
will have no more input as to what furniture will occupy our living room
in the future. But it really doesn't matter at all as long as my
recliner is there!
