THE great variety of Provincial Copper Coins 
issued bet-ween the years 1787 and 1-794 induce a many people 
to make collections of them ; still more attempted to obtain a 
complete series: but failing in the attempt, I thought a repre- 
sentation of them engraved on Copper-plates would serve as 
a substitute. It was at first my intention to keep each work- 
man s productions by themselves ; the Coins on the first three 
plates being all executed by one person : but when I attempted 
to select from my collection for the succeeding plates, I found 
it impracticable to pursue that method, I therefore afterwards 
placed them promiscuously; still continuing to arrange the Coins 
on each plate according to the workmanship, thofe that are best 
executed being as near as possible kept by themselves on sepe- 
rate plates. Towards the latter end of the year I794 and 
the beginning of 1795, // became quite a trade to manufacture 
them, and prodigious quantities were issued, some payable, 
others not payable ; and the greater part of those that were 
best executed was counterfeited, and the obverses and reverses 
so mixed, that it was almost impossible ft distinguish which 
were originals : and lately dies have been executed for the sole 
purpose of furnishing the collectors, the productions* not being 
intended for circulation ; indeed many of them are so infam- 
ously base, that, in my opinion, they are a disgrace to the age 
we live in, and such as I dont think proper to admit into 
my collection. Others are issued that are better executed, 
some of which I have not been able to obtain; although I must , 
^vitb gratitude, acknowledge the politeness of Miss Banks, 
Soho-square, in furnishing me with several that, in all pro- 
bability, I could not otherways have procured. 

In the index I have, as far as I could obtain information, 
given the names of the Die-sinkers ; and where no name is 
expressed I have not been able to learn it.
