Excerpt from The Copper, Tin and Bronze Coinage and Patterns for Coins of England: From the Reign of Elizabeth to That of Her Present Majesty
In dealing with the coins composed of tin and its alloys, I have applied the common name of tin coins to all, although it is obvious that some would more properly be described as of pewter. I have found it all but impossible to distinguish between those coins in which the quantity of the alloy is more or less infinitesimal.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
