Now and then such things are to be met w^th in some Families, where good people have made little purses of old pennies and odd pieces of Gold & Silver money, w^ch are often carried to the Goldsmiths, sold for weight & melted down, so that if you can rescue any such I would give a better price, than the Goldsmiths will if the owners have a mind to part w^th them; if they have no mind to part w^th them, and they are Curious pieces I should be glad of a sight of them by any safe Conveyance. Such Gold coins as I mean, are such as were of the Reigns before K. James I., and silver ones broad and fair any before the Restoration of K. Ch. II., the Common Coins since those two Epocha’s I have I believe pretty compleat. I have given away my Roman Coins, nor care for any forreign ones but only such of our own nation since the Conquest.'
