“ I have (fen pattern carets of Aillings,
sixpences, and halfpence*, fb bt<e, a# to be
marked for sale at the rate of 28, 30, and
36 (hillings for the guinea.
“ Quarter dollars and pi Hareens, (but prin
cipally quarter doilan) cut into three or ra
ther four piece*. An exaft triangle taken'
out of the cen re. The other three pieces of
debased silver, nevertheless to be run off as
halves of the quarter ddllar. The central
piece is again coined down, arid is left rather
plain in the dies (which were ftiewn to me
with ps’ * of the money) rind the crefcedt
formed pieces brack to nearly is possible the
famp of that part of a real Spanish quarter
dollar. Tne piltareens were worie executed.
I have also leen Dutch ducats, and dol
lars which were done as follows. The ducat
was cut out di a pure piece of loft silver to the
prooer fixe and to be easily bendable in the
finger as pure doca s are ; there is then a
thick alamram of gold, (which is made of
quick ft ver and gold, and then iqueezed
through fhammy leather) laid on this fofe
silver, and then firuck in the press to theex
ed size and mirks of the Dutch doca! ofdatg
1752. Tnis Order came thro’ English mer
chant* f otn Holland and London, soon after
the declared and open afliftance given by Eo
pland to the r high and mighty allies the
Du'ch. The value of these forged ducats is
about one and fixpencefteriing, workmanship
and all. They weigh about 2 dwts. 5 grs.
and bv weight the real ducat would fell here
for nearly ten (hillings, so that here rests a
ineat profit of eight and sixpence on each
piece.
“ Spanish milled dollars are of three forts,
two only of wh ch 1 have seen.— The baler
one is cut from a well silver placed sheet of
copper o^due thickness, then hooped around
the edge with a silver write so thick as not to
expose the popper if (craped moderately on
the edge with a kriife (a common mode here
to de ted bale silver j and is then milled to
the copied dye, of which there ard more than
one fort. They are sq well executed as to
pass easily amdng others, and are in value,
workmanlhip and all, about one and fix
penec.
“ The other and ttiW pure dollars, the
artists are more close arrd f?cret about, ai be
ing a better thing These however come to
Birmingham in real Spanish or Mexican dol
lars, bought at the bank and other places,
lent down fry land carriages, about 20,000
at a time*, in a cafic, and they are mel ed and
recoined, copying as exactly the Old irapref
fions, of which 1 there are three or four forts,
but mostly the lank visage of his most Catho
lic Majefly, nine linti of silver being taken
from each of the new coinage, and these new
ones want but little alloy to bring them to a
p-ooer thickness ; two one half, or three
pence on each^piece is ample pay to the artilt
Meye for dies, recoining, fending bach to Lon
don, and all o^her eXpences, so that the pub
lic upon whom they are put, lose nine pence
in every four and fix pence, and the emitter
has a clear benefit of fix pence on each Up
on close inveftigatiow, nd diubt remains upon
mv mind, but they are meant for the Weft-
Jn iies or 'Or the United Sta'es. Six tots of
them and at other silver have been so melted
down Cnee the beginning of Aogult last.
The parties were very secret as to names,but
dropped to me upon being closely pushed, it
was done by them under an order in a regu
lar way from a house in London, wholly in
rhe Bast India line, and that those dollars
were meant for the eafti but this cannot be
the case, the people in that country being
very nice and fcruptFous as to silver import
ed coins. I have advally heard profejfional
men ,(ore in the church and the other a phy
