Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'One Mr Samuel Smith lives at York, who, tho’ but a Baker, is yet very skillfull and curious in Coyns, particularly our English Coyns since the Conquest … he hath few Saxon Coyns, but abundance of Roman ones. He is about fifty Years of Age, and hath held a correspondence with Dr Fleetwood, late Bp of Ely, and other noted Men. He is a rich Man, and hath some Learning, and, as he says, ’twas his Natural Genius that spurr’d him on to Coyns.'
(Hearne 1885, vol. 8 p. 111; Burnett 2020b, p. 1248)
