PREFACE. 

The  late  Henry  C.  Miller,  Esqr.,  was  born  on  May  19th,  1844.  He 
was  educated  at,  and  graduated  from,  Williams  College  in  1867.  His  death 
occurred  very  suddenly  on  February  5th  this  year.  As  a  numismatist, 
he  must  be  considered  one  of  the  best  in  America.  From  his  unosten- 
tatious and  quiet  manner  one  was  not  apt  to  imagine  to  what  a  wide  ex- 
tent he  had  entered  into  this  pursuit  of  Numismatics.  Feeling  no  doubt 
that  his  end  might  come  at  an  unexpected  moment  he  had  for  the  past  half 
a  dozen  years  gradually  offered  the  various  series  in  which  he  was  inter- 
ested, selling  them  all  through  myself  in  my  sales.  I  always  regarded  it  as 
an  especially  high  compliment  that  I  retained  from  a  first  acquaintance  with 
JMr.  Miller,  some  fifteen  years  ago,  his  fullest  confidence.  So  that  it  was 
no  great  surprise  to  learn  that  shortly  before  his  death  he  had  told  his 
sister,  Miss  Miller,  that  if  anything  happened  to  him  to  take  his  collection 
at  once  to  me  for  disposal  at  auction  sale.  The  notations  he  left  on  some 
,of  his  coin  envelopes  showed  that  as  early  as  the  '70s  he  had  purchased 
some  of  the  coins  offered  in  this  very  sale.  His  classical  tastes  lead  him  into 
;the  realm  of  education,  and  he  once  was  the  principal  of  a  private  school 
in  this  city.  As  early  as  forty  years  ago  he  had  made  trips  to  Europe,  and 
on  those  trips  had  gathered  coins  from  all  quarters,  from  Rome  to  London, 
and  from  Paris  to  Thebes.  The  magnificent  set  of  heavy  early  Ptolemaic 
bronze  coins  in  this  sale  was  obtained  by  Mr.  Miller  personally  in  Thebes. 
His  interest  in  English  coins,  and  especially  in  the  early  Anglo-Saxon  issues, 
was  very  keen  and  the  remarkably  fine  and  large  collection  of  these,  includ- 
ing many  of  the  very  rarest  issues,  shows  to  what  an  extent  he  indulged  in 
their  collection  and  study.  A  brief  list  of  some  of  the  rarest  of  the  early 
English  silver  pennies  in  this  collection  shows  the  following  monarchs  rep- 
resented: Offa,  Coenwulf,  Coelwulf,  Burgred,  Cuthred,  Wulfred,  Coelnoth, 
Eadmund,  Siefried,  Cnut,  St.  Peter,  St.  Edmund,  Egbert,  Aethelwulf,  Aethel- 
hert,  Aethelred  I,  Alfred  the  Great  (quite  a  number),  Edward  The  Elder 
,(with  two  perhaps  unique),  Aethelstan,  Aedmund,  Eadred,  Eadwig,  Edgar, 
Harthacanute,  Harold  I,  Harold  II,  etc.  The  mediaeval  and  later  British 
coins  present  an  unbroken  line  of  rulers  from  Edward  The  Confessor  down 
;to  George  V.  The  copper  coins,  dating  from  the  reign  of  Elizabeth,  are 
especially  choice  for  rarity  and  preservation  and  include  two  different  un- 
circulated farthings  of  Anne,  also  some  choice  patterns  of  the  Georges. 
The  Georgian  half  pence  and  farthings  present  the  best  lot  I  have  yet  seen, 
with  a  proof  half  penny  dated  1729,  as  well  as  the  error  farthings  and  half 
jpence  of  Charles  II,  George  II  and  III,  all  of  which  are  mentioned  in  Mon- 
tagu's Book  on  the  subject  of  British  Copper  Coins.     The  ancient  Roman 


section  is  perhaps  the  most  important  of  all,  for  it  contains  over  a  thousand 
catalogue  lots  of  coins  with  many  well  known  and  finely  preserved  examples 
of  the  denarius,  the  first,  the  second  and  the  smaller  bronzes.  Unusual  things 
are  plentiful  and  a  list  of  the  most  remarkable  includes  coins  of  Antony 
and  Cleopatra,  Brutus  ("Eid  Mar"  denarius),  Julius  Caesar  (many  varie- 
ties), Pertinax,  Didius  Julianus,  Pescennius  Niger  (2  varieties,  both  ex- 
tremely fine),  Titiana  (second  bronze),  Gordianus  Africanus,  Sr.  and  Jr., 
Tranquillina,  Quietus,  Marius,  Magna  Urbica,  Nigrinianus,  Domitius  Domi- 
tianus,  Romulus,  Hanniballianus,  Vetranio,  Jovianus,  Procopius,  Eugenius. 
Flavius  Victor,  Jovinus,  Theodahatus,  Gunthamundus,  Theodoric,  Witiges, 
and  many  unusual  Byzantine  pieces.  There  are  a  host  of  third  and  smaller 
bronzes  of  about  all  the  late  emperors  with  many  uncirculated. 

The  feature  of  the  American  Colonial  and  Continental  coin  collection 
is,  ,  first  of  all,  the  magnificent  collection  of  the  coins  of  Connecticut,  with 
four  varieties  of  the  Granby  Three  Pences  of  John  Higley.  The  Connecticut 
series  was  a  special  favorite  with  Mr.  Miller,  and  his  book  on  the  subject, 
about  to  be  printed  by  the  American  Numismatic  Society,  is  the  result  of 
his  interest  in  this  group.  His  collection  has  in  it  choice  examples  of  the 
Sommer  Island  coins,  the  Lord  Baltimore  Shilling  and  Six  pence,  the  Chal- 
mers Annapolis  Three  Pence,  (an  uncirculated  example);  an  extremely  fine 
Carolina  Elephant  Half  Penny,  the  Superior  of  the  one  I  sold  in  1907,  in  the 
Gschwend  Sale;  a  large  collection  of  the  Massachusetts  issues  with  a  plenti- 
ful line  of  the  N.E.,  Oak  and  Pine-Tree  Coins,  and  some  choice  cents  and 
half  cents  of  that  state.  The  Fugios,  Nova  Constellatios  (with  one  proof), 
the  New  York  cents,  the  large  collection  of  Pennsylvania  half  pence,  the 
Vermonts,  the  New  Jerseys  and  the  fine  Washington  Collection  of  coins  and 
Patterns,  all  contribute  to  make  one  of  the  finest  coin  sales  ever  held  in 
the  United  States. 

The  few  remaining  choice  books  include  a  full  set  of  Cohen's  last  edi- 
tion, a  set  of  Babelon's  work  on  Roman  coins,  Crosby's  Early  Coins  of 
America  and  other  desirable  items.     All  coins  are  guaranteed  genuine. 

In  order  to  not  crowd  the  selling,  and  to  make  deliveries  more  simple, 
the  sale  will  be  held  in  four  sessions,  on  Wednesday,  Thursday,  Friday  and 
Saturday,  May  26th,  27th,  28th  and  29th,  commencing  each  day  at  1:30 
o'clock  in  the  afternoon.  The  terms  will  be  strictly  cash,  and  the  sale  con- 
ducted as  per  the  requirements  printed  in  the  catalogue  giving  full  particu- 
lars as  to  its  conduct.  The  catalogue  has  been  conscientiously  compiled  ex- 
clusively by  myself,  and  considering  the  rather  short  time  allowed  for  its 
preparation,  I  hope  it  will  be  found  of  interest,  and  something  worth  keep- 
ing for  future  reference.

SECTION  I. 


EARLY  BRITISH  COINS. 

Note. — According  to  Ruding,  the  earliest  coin  which  can  be  attributed 
to  any  British  monarch,  bears  upon  it  the  letters  SEGO,  possibly  for  Se- 
gonax.  He  was  one  of  four  petty  Kentish  monarchs  who  by  the  command  of 
Cassivellan,  attacked  Caesar's  camp  upon  its  second  invasion  of  Britain.  But 
there  is  no  doubt  that  the  Britons  had  coins  of  their  own  prior  to  Caesar's 
time,  and  the  early  staters  and  copper  pieces  give  certain  evidence  of  having 
been  copied  after  Greek  models,  particularly  those  of  Philip  II  of  Macedon, 
the  same  influence  which  is  seen  in  the  curious  Gaulish  tetradrachms.  So 
the  rude  horses  pictured  on  the  following  coins  were  mainly  poor  imitations 
of  Philip's  coins.  Roman  letters  and  figures  are  found  also.  After  Cuno- 
beline's  time  the  British  coins  disappeared  while  Britain  was  under  Rome's 
dominion.

EARLY  BRITISH  SILVER  COINS. 
SCEATTA. 

Period.  A.  D.  700-750. 

Note. — "The  earliest  coins  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  Series  are  small  pieces 
in  gold  and  silver  known  as  Sceattas;  the  word  Sceat  signifying  Treasure. 
Some  have  no  inscription,  others  have  legends  in  Roman  or  Runis  charac- 
ters. The  locality  of  issue  of  the  majority  has  not  been  determined.  The 
early  types  are  derived  from  Roman  and  Frankish  coins,  but  the  later  ones 
appear  to  be  of  native  origin. — The  silver  vary  in  weight  from  15  to  20 
grains."     See  B.  M.  Catalogue  of  Coins  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland.

ANGLO-SAXON  KINGDOMS. 

Regarding  the  following  remarkable  set  of  silver  pennies,  Ruding  states 
that  the  term  Penny  was  first  mentioned  in  the  Laws  of  Ina,  King  of  the 
West  Saxons,  who  began  to  reign  in  A.D.  688.  The  word  Penny  is  written 
in  several  ways,  and  its  form,  but  not  its  type,  was  adopted  from  the  Carl 
ovingian  Denier.  The  Saxons  valued  it  at  the  rate  of  240  to  a  pound  of 
silver.  This  number  would  give  24  grains  for  each  coin.  Large  sums  were 
computed  by  Pennies  alone.  Finds  of  early  English  pennies  have  been  made 
at  various  times.  Some  rulers  or  varieties  are  exceedingly  rare,  or  unique, 
and  valued  up  to  around  a  thousand  dollars  apiece.  We  offer  in  this  col- 
lection the  best  lot  which  has  ever  been  offered  to  the  American  market 
at  public  sale,  and  collectors  should  take  full  advantage  of  their  opportunity.

STYCA  SERIES. 

Note. — Ruding  states  "two  of  these  small  copper  stycas  passed  for  a 
farthing,  showing  the  need  of  a  coin  of  very  small  denomination.  The  name 
was  derived,  by  Lye,  from  Sticce,  minuta  pars,  because  this  money  was  of 
all  others  the  smallest."  They  were  struck  by  only  a  few  kings  and  arch- 
bishops. They  are  very  small,  thick  pieces  of  about  the  weight  of  the  silver 
penny.     A  few  come  in  base  silver.

SERIES  n.      MONEY  OF   NECESSITY,    1689-1691. 

Popularly  Known  as  "Gun  Money." 

Note. — According  to  B.  M.  Hand-book  its  value  was  merely  nominal, 
and  the  issue  was  not  to  be  continued  for  any  length  of  time.  The  metal 
in  old  brass  cannon  was  used  in  their  manufacture,  whilst  in  Ireland  the 
popular  name  was  "Brass  Money",  any  of  the  Crowns  were  restruck  on 
the  large  half  crowns.  The  gun  money  issued  during  the  four  months  from 
July  to  October,  1690,  was  coined  at  Limerick  by  James's  adherents.  The 
six  pence  was  the  earliest  of  this  coinage  and  was  first  struck  in  1689.  See 
illustrations  in  British  Museum  Handbook  Plates  LXII  and  LXIII;  also 
Mailliet's  Monnaies  Obsidionales  Et  De  Necessite  PI.  LXI.  While  the  B.  M. 
Handbook  gives  June  as  the  first  month  in  1689  that  the  six  pence  was 
struck,  which  denomination  it  further  states  was  the  earliest  one  of  these 
coins  struck,  kindly  note  that  we  have  in  this  collection  a  six  pence  clearly 
dated  January,  1689,  and  others  of  earlier  dates  than  June,  1689.       T.L.E.

SECTION  n. 

THE  COINS  OF  ANCTENT  ROME. 

SILVER  COINS  OF  THE  ROMAN  REPUBLIC. 

OF  DENARIUS  SIZE  UNLESS  OTHERWISE   STATED.      THE   COINS  ARE 

CLASSIFIED  ACCORDING  TO  THE  SPLENDID  WORK   BY  M. 

ERNEST   BABELON,   OF    PARIS,   DES   MONNAIES 

DE  LA  REPUBLIQUE   ROMAINE. 

A  FEW  WORDS  ON  THE  DENARIUS. 

!  "This  coin,"   says  Stevenson,   "derived   its  appellation  a  denis  assibus 

(from  ten  asses),  for  which  it  used  to  be  exchanged,  weighing  a  pound 
each,  as  they  did  at  the  time  when  silver  first  began  to  be  coined  at  Rome, 
namely,  in  B.C.  269.  According  to  Pliny  it  was  established  that  the  de- 
narius should  be  given  in  exchange  for  ten  pounds  of  brass,  the  quinarius  for 
five  pounds  and  the  sestertius  for  two  pounds  and  a  half. 


ROMAN  SILVER  41 

In  B.C.  217  when  the  As  was  reduced  in  weight  to  one  ounce,  it  was 
established  that  the  denarius  should  be  given  in  exchange  for  sixteen  asses, 
the  quinarius  for  eight,  the  sestertius  for  four."  Various  writers  have 
compared  the  denarius  to  Greek  drachms  in  their  relative  value,  and  indi- 
cate that  the  two  coins  had  about  the  same  value  and  weight.  Under  the 
successors  of  Augustus  they  were  reduced  far  below  their  original  weight. 
The  principal  types  of  the  Family  Roman  denarii  are  those  bearing  the 
helmeted  head  of  Rome  and  a  quadriga  on  the  reverse.  Mr.  Ackerman, 
a  well  known  English  numismatic  writer,  quoting  from  St.  Matthew,  where 
,we  find  in  the  twentieth  chapter  and  fifth  verse  the  words  "a  penny  a  day", 
observes,  "the  penny  here  mentioned  was  the  denarius  which,  at  the  time 
of  our  Lord's  ministry  was  equivalent  in  value  to  about  seven  pence  half 
penny  (15  cents  in  U.  S.  money)  of  our  (English)  money.  With  the  decline 
of  the  Roman  Empire,  the  denarius  was  by  degrees  debased,  and  the  later 
Emperors  who  issued  them  sometimes  plated  copper  over  with  tin  or  silver 
to  make  them  pass  for  the  origintl  denarii.  "This  reduction  went  on,  after 
the  division  of  the  empire,  until  the  denarius,  once  a  beautiful  medalet,  be- 
came a  coin  of  very  inferior  execution,  low  relief,  and  reduced  thickness  and 
.weight.  The  term  denarius  is  yet  preserved  in  our  (English)  notation  of 
pounds,  shillings  and  pence  by  L.  S.  D."  In  olden  times  in  England  "a 
penny  a  day"  appears  to  have  been  "the  pay  of  a  field  laborer;  whilst  among 
the  Romans  (see  Tacitus  Abb.  lib.  1.  c.  17)  the  daily  pay  of  a  soldier  was  a 
denarius!" 

So  there  is  nothing  new  under  the  sun  and  history  repeats.  The  coin 
referred  to  in  St.  Matthew  by  Jesus  Christ  was  the  denarius  of  Tiberius, 
one  of  which  may  be  found  in  perfect  preservation  in  this  collection.  The 
following  collection  of  denarii  is  the  largest  and  finest  ever  offered  in  the 
United  States.

JULIUS  CAESAR. 

Undoubtedly  one  of  the  very  greatest  men  in  all  history.  He  was  de- 
scended from  Ascanius,  otherwise  called  lulus,  son  of  Aeneas.  He  was  the 
son  of  I.  Julius  Caesar  (praetor)  and  born  about  B.C. 100.  His  mother  took 
an  affectionate  interest  in  him  and  he  was  greatly  attached  to  her. 

At  as  early  an  age  as  22  he  was  considered  an  orator  second  only  to 
Cicero  and  his  early  life  was  filled  with  most  important  events  and  exper- 
iences. He  was  sent  as  Questor  to  Spain,  and  on  seeing  the  effigy  of  Alex- 
ander the  Great  he  shed  tears.  In  B.C.  69.  Cicero  and  M.  Antony  being 
consuls  he  was  elected  or  declared  Pontifex  Maximus.  During  the  years  51 
and  50  he  conquered  Gaul.  In  the  war  with  Pompey  he  passed  the  Rubi- 
eon  and  drove  Pompey  with  the  Consuls  into  Greece.  He  passed  into  Rome. 
After  his  victory  in  Thessaly,  in  B.C. 48,  he  was  elected,  or  created,  Dicta- 
tor for  a  whole  year,  an  honour  which  was  every  year  renewed.  He  followed 
Pompey  into  Egypt  and  found  him  dead.  There  he  fell  under  the  snare  of 
Cleopatra  VII  and  undertook  a  war  with  her  brother  Ptolemy,  with  a  view 


52  ROMAN  SILVER 

of  giving  her  sovereignty  over  Egypt.  He  took  Alexandria  and  put  Ptolemy 
to  death.  Then  he  gave  Egypt  into  the  hands  of  Cleopatra.  Appointed 
Perpetual  Dictator  (See  his  coins  for  this  famous  inscription  DICT.  PERP.) 
for  the  fifth  time,  with  Marc  Antony  as  his  consular  colleague,  while  plan- 
ning a  campaign  against  the  Getae  and  Parthians  he  was  assassinated  in  the 
Senate  house  in  the  "Ides  of  March"  (See  Denarius  of  Brutus — Rx.  Poin- 
ards,  cap  (of  liberty)  and  EID  MAR)  by  a  conspiracy  of  republicans,  orig- 
inated and  carried  out  by  Brutus  and  Cassius,  dying  in  the  56th  year  of 
his  age.  Stevenson  says  of  him  he  was  "A  man,  above  all  others,  marvel- 
ously  accomplished  in  the  arts  of  both  peace  and  war;  one  that  whom  an- 
tiquity cannot  produce  a  more  distinguished  example.  Noble  and  command- 
ing in  person,  of  lofty  stature  and  fair  complexion,  his  black  eyes  were  pierc- 
ing, and  his  whole  countenance  replete  with  expression.  At  the  close  of  his 
career  he  carried  with  him  something  which  vexed  him  greatly,  a  bald  head. 
He  was  delicate  in  constitution  but  followed  temperance  in  eating  and  drink- 
ing. He  possessed  a  wonderful  intellect,  expressed  somewhat  in  his  "Com- 
mentaries." All  our  college  boys  are  familiar  with  them  especially  the 
noted  fifteenth  chapter  of  his  "Gallic  Wai's."  He  fought  fifty  pitched  battles, 
and  by  his  personal  bravery  has  said  to  have  on  several  occasions  turned 
the  tide  of  battle.  He  was  moreover  very  merciful  to  the  conquered,  even 
granting  them  honors  on  occasions.  Stevenson  says  his  good  fortune  never 
deserted  him.  He  had  an  ambition  to  attain  the  empire  of  the  world.  His 
ambition  led  him  to  attack  and  conquer  nations  simply  for  conquest's  sake. 
Finally  he  turned  his  arms  against  his  fellow  countrymen  and  won  his  last 
honors  at  the  point  of  the  sword.  His  coinage  is  numerous  and  covers  a 
varied  and  most  interesting  series,  the  following  of  which  are  good  examples.

54  ROMAN  SILVER 

Note: — Stevenson  refers  to  this  remarkable  and  exceedingly  rare  coin 
as  a  "numismatic  monument",  for  it  "was  the  instrument  of  transmitting 
a  record  to  the  most  distant  posterity."  Eckhel  in  describing  it  begins — 
"En  pugiones,  &  c, "observe  the  daggers  employed  in  the  perpetration  of  so 
fell  a  murder  brought  before  our  eyes,  on  this  coin,  weapons,  which,  under 
the  specious  pretext  of  liberty,  Brutus  hesitated  not  to  stain  with  the  blood 
of  that  Caesar,  to  whom  personally  he  owed  so  much;  in  the  same  deed  a 
patriot  and  a  cut-throat.  We  have  the  statement  of  Dion  Cassius  that  this 
denarius  was  struck  by  order  of  Brutus  himself,  &  described  by  himself 
as  follows  "And  also  on  the  coins,  which  he  caused  to  be  struck,  he  ex- 
hibited a  likeness  of  himself,  and  a  cap  and  two  daggers;  intimating  by 
this  type,  and  by  the  legend,  that  conjointly  with  Cassius,  he  had  restored 
his  country  to  Liberty."  The  inscription  EID  MAR,  indicates  the  fatal  day, 
the  ides  of  March,  on  which  the  bloody  deed  was  done — .  The  above  tes- 
timony of  Dion  decides  the  question  as  to  who  it  was  that  caused  this  de- 
narius to  be  struck;  and  the  time  was  that  at  which  Brutus  passed  into  Asia 
to  join  Cassius,  after  having  rendered  himself  master  of  Macedonia  and  a 
part  of  Greece."  Stevenson  describes  the  two  or  three  examples  known  to 
him,  and  states  that  as  early  as  1848  this  noted  coin  brought  over  10 
pounds  sterling;  and  in  another  instance  over  15  pounds.''  He  reminds  his 
readers  also  that  these  prices  are  ridiculously  low  for  perhaps  the  most 
noted  historical  coin  of  antiquity.  The  cataloguer  figures  also  that  if  the 
two  or  three  known  examples  at  that  time  brought  15  pounds,  their  sheer 
commercial  value  at  the  present  ought  to  be  six  or  seven  times  those  sums

189.  of  this  this  coin  and  of  C.  Cassius,  Stevenson  says  that  the 
lituus  and  sacrificial  vase  on  the  reverse  refer  to  the  augural  priest- 
hood of  Lentulus  Spinter,  who  after  the  murder  of  the  Dictator, 
openly  declared  himself  a  partisan  of  the  conspirators.  Cassius 
came  of  one  of  the  most  distinguished  families  in  Rome  and  was 
one  of  the  assassins  of  Caesar.

AUGUSTUS. 

Adopted  son  and  heir  of  Julius  Caesar  and  first  Emperor  of  Rome,  the 
title  conferred  on  him  B.C.  27  by  the  Roman  Senate,  in  acknowledgement 
of  his  services  to  his  country.  Born  6  3  B.C.  In  B.C.  42  he  defeated  Brutus 
and  Cassius  at  Philippe,  being  aided  by  M.  Antonius.  In  B.C.  40  he  gained 
a  decisive  naval  victory  over  Sextus  Pompey.  In  B.C.  35  0ctavianu6  quarell- 
ed  with  M.  Antonius,  who  had  divorced  his  sister  Octavia  and  married  Cleo- 
patra VII  of  Egypt.  Having  assembled  under  his  banner  all  the  legions  of 
the  East,  he  attacked  and  totally  defeated  his  former  colleague  and  only 
formidable  rival  in  a  sea  fight  near  Actium.  In  B.C.  30  he  proceeded  with 
an  army  into  Egypt  and  captured  Alexandria.  Mark  Antony  and  Cleopatra 
then  committed  suicide,  leaving  Augustus  sole  master.  For  these  victories 
the  Roman  Senate  made  him  Imperator.  He  died  in  A.D.  14,  in  the  76th 
year  of  his  age.

Note. — Of  this  emperor,  whose  coinage  is  so  large  and  varied,  a  word; 
He  was  the  son  of  Valerian  by  his  first  wife.  Emperor  with  his  father,  A.D. 
253.  Assassinated  268.  A  contemptible  character.  It  was  during  this 
reign  that  so  many  generals  declared  themselves  emperors,  and  these  are 
designated  as  "The  Thirty  Tyrants.".  He  was  killed  while  besieging  in 
Milan  the  new  competitor,  Aureolus,  being  assassinated  by  conspirators  in 
his  50th  year.  Every  vice  imaginable  was  charged  to  him.  It  is  to  be  noted 
that  from  the  reign  of  Septimus  Severus  to  Gallienus  the  silver  standard 
was  reduced.  The  above  and  the  others  following  of  Gallienus  are  billon, 
copper,  or  bronze  plated  with  silver.

Note. — He  was  the  son  of  Constantius  Chlorus  and  Helena.  Was 
Caesar  in  306  and  Augustus  in  Britain.  In  311  he  embraced  the  Christian 
religion,  and  became  sole  emperor  in  A.D.  323.  Quitted  Rome  for  Byzan- 
tium in  330,  which  he  named  Constantinople.  He  died  337.  He  evidently 
suffered  from  an  exaggerated  ego,  judging  by  some  of  his  acts  and  the  so- 
called  "visions"  he  imagined  he  saw  while  traveling  along  with  his  army. 
One  of  these  was  his  "discovery"  of  the  PX  sign,  or  seal  of  Christ.  As  a 
matter  of  fact  numismatists  have  proven  he  borrowed  this  PX  vision  from 
Ptolemy  III  or  the  early  Bactrian  Kings,  as  this  monogram  is  clearly  seen  on 
their  coins  of  several  hundred  years  previous  to  his  time.  In  fact  we  have 
them  in  this  very  sale.  His  "In  Hoc  Signo  Vinces"  and  his  PX  visions  were 
truly  "dreams."

Note. — This  person  was  so  little  known  evidently 
that  Stevenson  makes  no  mention  of  her  in  his  bio-

is  the  first  example  of  any  sort  of  coin  of  her  that  we

Gordian  had  raised  her.  She  survived  her  murdered  husband,  but  her  lot 
in  life  afterwards  remains  without  record.  Of  this  Empresses  coins  there 
were  but  few  in  bronze,  and  none  in  gold.  The  silver  and  first  and  second

peror at  Alexandria,  whilst  in  command  of  the  Im- 
perial legions  in  Egypt.  Mionnet  says  "Of  this  Domi-

Note. — This  ruler  was  the  eldest  son  of  Maxentius  and  of  the  daughter 
of  Gal.  Maximianus,  born  about  A.D.  306.  Little  is  known  of  him.  He  was 
declared  Caesar  by  his  father  when  he  had  completed  his  first  year,  and 
Augustus  a  short  time  after;  and  dying  in  A.D.  309  his  father  placed  him 
in  the  rank  of  the  gods,  all  his  coins  being  struck  in  honor  of  his  consecra- 
tion. An  unique  gold  medallion  exists  of  this  boy.  On  the  reverse  is  a  temple 
having  on  its  top  an  eagle  with  spread  wings,  with  the  motto  AETERNAE

Note. — This  man  "commanded  the  legions  in  Illyria  and  Pannonia 
at  the  murder  of  Constans  by  Magnentius,  A.D.  350,  and  he  then  assumed 
the  title  of  Augustus  at  Sirmium.  Constantius  II  marched  with  his  army 
to  meet  him,  and  on  a  plain  near  Serdica,  Constantius  II,  appealing  to  the 
assembled  armies  that  he  was  a  son  of  the  great  Constantine,  Vetranio  took 
off  his  diadem  and  abdicated.  Constantius  treated  him  with  kindness  and 
allowed  him  to  retire  to  Prusa,  in  Bithynia  where  he  spent  the  remaining 
six  years  of  his  life"  (Stevenson).

Note. — Of  this  obscure  empress  Stevenson  says  "Magna 
Urbica  whose  coins  in  every  metal  are  extremely  rare, 
has  by  some  been  ascribed  as  the  wife  of  Maxentius, 
by  others  of  Magnentius  or  Decentius;  by  others  again 
of  Carus  and  Numerianus;  but  Knell  and  Eckhel  as- 
sign her  to  Carinus."

Note. — A  youthful  radiated  head  appears  on  the  above  coin.  Stevenson 
says  the  third  brass  coins  are  of  great  rarity,  coupled  with  the  appellation 
of  DIVUS.  The  type  of  the  gold  coin  is  a  funeral  pile  with  a  biga  placed 
on  the  summit.  History  makes  no  mention  of  Nigrinianus,  who  is  known 
only  by  the  coins  above  alluded  to.  Tristan  supposes  him  to  have  been 
the  son  of  the  tyrant  Alexander,  who  reigned  in  Africa  during  the  time 
of  Maxentius.  Other  writers  state  he  was  a  son  of  Carinus,  and  with  much 
probability  Arria  Nigrina  for  his  mother.  He  apparently  died  during  his 
youth  and  these  coins  were  issued  as  a  memorial.  Both  Eckhel  and  Mionnet 
quote  the  gold  coins  from  the  museum  of  Saxe-Gotha.

this  must  have  been  an  error  since  her  good  husband  was  called  "The  First 
Christian  Emperor  of  Rome".  Such  conduct  on  his  part  would  not  have 
been  considered  entirely  christianlike.

"This  copper  was  coined  in  Birmingham,  England, 
in  the  year  1785,  and  was  probably  the  work  of 
Wyon.  The  obverse  U.S.A.  monogram  was  used  on 
old  Continental  buttons,  and  was  copied  from  them."

THE  WASHINGTON  COINS  AND  TOKENS. 

Mr.  Crosby  states  little  is  known  of  the  origin  of  these  coins.  How- 
ever the  letters  "T.W.I."  (Thomas  Wyon)  give  a  pretty  sure  clue,  seen  on 
one  of  the  Liberty  and  Independence  cents  of  1783.  There  is  more  evidence 
of  the  English  origin  of  most  of  these  pieces.  On  the  W.  &  J.  Taylor  card, 
bearing  on  one  side  a  kangaroo,  and  offered  below,  the  reverse  of  the 
Washington  small  bust  cent  of  1783  is  used.  Taylor  also  had  a  card  with 
the  same  seated  figure  on  the  reverse  but  with  no  reference  to  the  United 
States.  The  one  reading  UNITY  STATES  is  said  to  have  been  executed  in 
France  by  someone  who  had  little  knowledge  of  our  language  or  institu- 
tion, as  the  simple  word  UNITY  has  been  misused.  The  following  will  be 
found  a  most  interesting  lot  in  remarkably  fine  condition,  most  of  them  got 
by  Mr.  Miller  in  England,  and  three  very  rare  pieces  are  included.

PENNSYLVANIA  HALF  PENCE  AND  FARTHINGS. 

Commonly  known  as  "Bungtowns."  Made  in  England  in  Imitation  of 
Various  European  and  English  coins,  bearing  chiefly  the  heads  of  George 
II  and  III.  Some  are  satirical  or  humorous  in  type  and  inscription.  The 
series  has  been  treated  toy  tooth  Messrs.  Crosby  Atkins  and  L.  H.  Low.  The 
following  is  one  of  the  largest  collections,  and  one  of  the  finest,  ever  offered 
in  American  sales.  They  circulated  largely  among  the  early  German  colon- 
ists in  the  eastern  part  of  the  state,  in  fact  the  cataloguer  has  hardly  met 
with  a  single  example  in  Western  Pennsylvania,  where  he  resided  for  many 
years.  And  a  good  many  of  them  never  left  England.  On  July  14,  1781, 
Joseph  Reed,  President  of  the  Supreme  Executive  Council  of  the  Common- 
wealth, issued  a  proclamation  stating  that  "divers  ill-disposed  persons  have 
manufactured  or  imported  into  this  State  quantities  of  base  metal,  in  the 
similitude  of  British  half  pence,  but  much  inferior  in  value  and  weight  to 
genuine  British  half  pence  to  the  great  depreciation  of  that  coin,  the  injury 
of  the  community  in  general,  and  the  poor  in  particular — and  we  have, 
therefore,  thought  proper  to  prohibit,  and  do  hereby  strictly  enjoin  all  of- 
ficers— not  to  receive  such  base  coin  in  any  payments  whatsoever — and  do 
earnestly  recommend  to  all  the  faithful  inhabitants  of  this  State  to  refuse 
it  in  payment — and  to  make  due  inquiry  after  offenders  in  the  premises,  that 
they  may  be  brought  to  speedy  and  condign  punishment."  Mr.  A.  R.  Frey, 
a  well  known  writer  on  numismatic  topics,  in  his  Dictionary  of  Numismatic 
Terms,  states  in  speaking  of  the  word  "Bungtown,"  that  it  is  a  name  given 
to  clumsy  imitations  of  the  English  half  pennies,  which  circulated  exten- 
sively in  Pennsylvania  and  other  states  in  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth 
century.  The  name  is  probably  derived  from  the  slang  term  'to  bung — 
meaning  to  cheat  or  deceive'  ".

NOTES  ON  THE  COINAGES  OF  NEW  JERSEY. 

"On  the  19th  of  November,  1681"  says,  Crosby,  "there  arrived  in  New 
Jersey  a  party  of  emigrants  from  Dublin,  Mark  Newby  and  his  family  being 
among  them.  Newby  lived  on  the  farm  an  Newton,  since  owned  by  Jos.  B. 
Cooper,  Esqr.,  where  many  of  the  St.  Patrick  half  pence  have  been  plowed 
up.  Newby  brought  with  him  a  quantity  of  those  pieces  known  as  St. 
Patrick's  Half  Pence  which,  owing  to  the  scarcity  of  small  money  there, 
were,  in  the  ensuing  May,  made  current  in  that  State  under  certain  con- 
ditions expressed  in  the  act  by  which  they  were  authorized  — .  The  date 
and  origin  of  these  pieces  are  enveloped  in  mystery,  and  various  opinions 
have  been  expressed  upon  these  coins.  Evelyn  an  old  numismatic  writer 
gave  the  first  published  account  of  them  in  1697,  thinking  them  Irish  coins. 


134  AMERICAN  COLONIAL  AND  CONTINENTAL  COINS 

Bishop  Nicholson  placed  them  among  the  coins  of  Charles  I;  another 
expressed  the  opinion  that  'they  were  struck  in  the  time  of  Charles  I  by  the 
Papists,  when  they  rebelled  in  Ireland  and  massacred  the  Protestante." 
They  were  struck  also  in  rare  cases  in  silver,  the  cataloguer  having  had 
examples  in  that  metal. 

As  to  later  coinage,  we  note  that  by  enactment  of  a  law  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  copper  coinage,  in  June,  1786,  Walter  Mould,  Thomas  Goads- 
by  and  Albion  Cox,  were  authorized  to  strike  and  coin  in  copper,  for  that 
stated  sum  to  the  value  of  ten  thousand  pounds,  at  fifteen  coppers  to  the 
shilling — the  coppers  to  be  of  pure  copper  and  of  the  weight  of  six  penny- 
weight and  six  grains.  There  were  two  mints  in  the  state,  one  located  at 
Morristown  and  the  other  at  Elizabethtown.  Walter  Mould  was  an  Eng- 
lishman, who  had  been  employed  at  minting  coins  in  Birmingham,  England. 
In  the  coinage  of  the  New  Jersey  coins  a  screw  with  a  long  lever  was  used. 
This  information  is  positive  as  Mr.  Lewis  Condict  saw  the  mint  in  operation. 
Mr.  Bushnell  wrote  in  1855  from  Morristown,  describing  the  mints  and 
stated  that  they  were  then  standing.  Mr.  Bushnell  further  stated  that  a 
Mr.  Hatfield  claimed  to  have  made  dies  and  coined  New  Jersey  Coppers  in 
a  barn,  below  Elizabethtown,  in  striking  which  he  was  assisted  by  a  negro — 
Mr.  Bushnell  presented  an  affidavit  (copy)  signed  by  one  John  Bailey  stat- 
ing he  "had  not  made  any  New  Jersey  coppers  after  April  15th,  1788"  indi- 
cating he  had  made  some  before  that.  Dr.  Maris  has  treated  this  subject  at 
length  in  his  work  on  the  cents  of  New  Jersey,  and  has  illustrated  most  of 
the  coins.  His  book  is  referred  to  in  the  classifying  of  the  following  col- 
lection, made  by  Mr.  Miller.

the  present  time.

Struck  by  John  Higley,  of  Granby,  Connecticut,  in  rude  black-smith 
fashion  from  copper  mined  on  the  premises,  in  the  years  1737-9.  Among 
the  most  celebrated  of  the  American  Colonial  coins.  Messrs  S.  H.  Chap- 
man, J.  C.  Mitchelson,  and  the  cataloguer  visited  the  mine  and  handled  the 
ore.  '

pecially as  regards  the  striking  and  flan  of  it.

1799c  1737.  Three  Pence.  Same  type  as  last,  but  a  variety,  seen  in  the 
letters  of  the  word  PLEASE.  In  this  example  the  letter  I  is  more 
distant  from  P  than  in  the  foregoing  example,  and  it  differs  from 
any  shown  in  Crosby's  plates,  the  letters  in  the  word  PLEASE 
being  widely  separated  from  each  other.  Very  fair.  Exceeding- 
ly rare,  the  obverse  might  be  termed  good.     Plate. 

NOTES  ON  THE  LATER  COINAGES  OF  CONNECTICUT. 

In  October,  1785,  we  read  in  Crosby's  Early  Coins  of  America,  author- 
ity was  granted  to  Samuel  Bishop,  Joseph  Hopkins,  James  Hillhouse  and 
John  Goodrich  to  establish  a  mint  for  coining  coppers  "not  to  exceed  in 
amount  of  Ten  Thousand  Pounds  lawful  money  in  Value  of  the  standard 
British  Half  Pence,  to  weigh  six  penny  weight,  and  to  bear  the  following 
impression  or  Stamp  (Viz.)  a  man's  head  on  the  one  side  with  Circum- 
scription in  the  Words  or  Letters  following,  (Viz)  AVCTORI:  CONNEC: 
and  on  the  other  side  the  Emblem  of  Liberty  with  an  olive  branch  in  her 
hand  with  a  circumscription  in  the  Words  and  Figures  following  (Viz) 
INDE:  ET.  LIB:  1785:  " —  these  men  to  pay  into  the  Treasury  of  this 
State,  at  the  end  of  every  six  months,  one  twentieth  part  of  all  Coppers  by 
them  coined  or  Manufactured  at  said  Mint"  etc.  "The  Hon.  Henry  Meigs, 
late  of  New  York,  deceased,  informed  me  (Mr.  Bushnell)  in  1854  that  the 
Connecticut  coins  were  made  in  a  building  situated  under  the  Southern 
Bluff,  near  the  centre  of  the  north  shore  of  the  harbor,  in  New  Haven,"  etc. 
The  building  was  a  small  frame  house,  and  he  thinks  was  painted  red.  Mr. 
Broome  superintended  the  mint,  not  more  than  three  of  the  employees  were 
seen  at  work  at  one  time.  Both  members  of  the  firm  would  sometimes  dis- 
tribute some  of  the  coins  among  the  boys,  among  whom  was  my  informant. 
The  coins  were  struck  by  means  of  a  powerful  iron  screw." 

CONNECTICUT  CENTS  FOR  YEARS  1785-88. 

Especial  interest  attaches  to  the  splendid  collection  of  Connecticut 
Cents  which  follows,  because  Mr.  Henry  Clay  Miller  had  completed,  just 
before  his  death,  an  exhaustive  and  detailed  description  of  these  pieces. 
This  work,  together  with  similar  articles  on  the  state  coinages  of  Vermont 
and  Massachusetts  by  Mr.  Hillyer  Ryder  is  being  published  by  The  American 
Numismatic  Society  as  Part  I  of  Volume  53  of  the  American  Journal  of 
Numismatics.  This  book  will  be  invaluable  to  collectors  of  these  import- 
ant eries  and,  by  stimulating  their  collection  will  greatly  enhance  their  value.
