BIDDING PRIORITY

Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price. It is therefore entirely possible that a lot can sell at your top bid to another bidder. To avoid this happening we o er an optional ‘Plus 1’ bidding increment facility, whereby if the bidding is against you at your maximum bid the auctioneer will execute one further bid on your behalf. Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the rst bid received.

PLACING BIDS

THE ERIC HODGE COLLECTION OF BRITISH MERCHANT COINS

My interest in numismatics started with a cigar box of sundry coins from my grandfather via my father. One wet Sunday, I split the coins between those I could read and the others (Chinese etc). A year later the selection I could not read were stolen and I knew immediately that I had no idea what had been lost. Therefore I set myself the task of researching the remaining coins. These included two silver crowns, one of Charles II and one of Victoria. I bought a coin magazine and then books. The advice I received was to try to specialise and to always buy the best you could a ord. Excellent advice I found.

I built up a reasonable collection of silver crowns from 1551 to the present. This collection was sold privately in 2002.

It was whilst forming this collection that I became aware of the paucity of circulating crowns during

the long reign of George III (1760–1820). Though there were very few circulating crowns I knew there were a large number of patterns and proofs. I decided to investigate this period to discover the reasons for this lack of crowns. It was during this research that I discovered the UK merchant countermarked dollar series which was to become my passion for the future. It was my good fortune that it coincided with Harrington (Harry) Manville completing his opus on merchant countermarked dollars, nally entitled ‘Tokens of the Industrial Revolution – Foreign Silver Coins Countermarked for use in Great Britain, c. 1787–1828’.

I wrote to Harry about the few examples I had and from there on, we built a close friendship. I had started my research by constructing computer les of all known examples, with photographs where possible, and copies of the relevant sale catalogues, museum lists and numismatic books. This research

was greatly enhanced when I met Mark Blackburn at a meeting of the British Numismatic Society. He was then the Keeper of the Department of Coins and Medals at the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge University. He told me about Professor Theodore (Ted) Buttery, a previous Keeper, and his vast and unrivalled collection of numismatic sale catalogues at the Fitzwilliam which he was constantly improving and was very keen for it to be put to use for research such as mine. This led to a long friendship with Ted and annual visits of a week or so to scour the sale catalogues for any mention of countermarked dollars. Ted was a font of knowledge with regard to the thousands of catalogues he had and could always point me in the right direction when I had any query or unusual reference to follow. He also educated me in the culinary delights of many local Cambridge ‘greasy spoon’ cafés.

When Harry Manville became aware of my records he sent me portions of his opus to check certain entries. Eventually this led him to forward the whole manuscript for perusal, especially portions with lists of known examples and their provenance. Harry’s book was published in 2001, so I took his lists, which I had checked, as my starting point. Once more, I con rmed every provenance entry, obtaining a hard copy of the sale catalogue, book or other document supporting the entry. It was during this initial checking that I began to appreciate the incredible records that Harry had accumulated, all based on a manual card index. My records were computerized allowing me to prepare spread sheets and use the ‘sorting’ option in order to check entries, something not available to Harry.

My annual visits to Cambridge allowed me to expand, enormously, on my lists and provenance details, again obtaining hard copies of each entry I recorded. In more recent years, my source of information has been greatly increased thanks to the unrivalled records of the Newman Numismatic Portal founded by the late great Eric Newman of St. Louis, Missouri, USA. These hard copy records, extending to about 15 large ring binders, will be in

the archives of the Hunterian Museum at the University of Glasgow for anyone to consult. This research journey has now lasted over 25 years and is ongoing. Though I am now passing my collection onto the next generation, my research is still keeping me active using my little grey cells.

In April 2024 I published, privately, a two part catalogue of my research records. Part one lists all merchant countermarked silver coins, known to me, under the title ‘Provenance’ with part two entitled ‘Photographs’. In this work I have allocated an individual number to each example listed.

Since publication, I have continued to keep my records and have prepared updated additions to the catalogue.

This journey has been a wonderful exercise. It encompassed numismatics, the Industrial Revolution, the working and living conditions in Georgian Britain, the Spanish-American Empire, the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, the early inventors of the Industrial Revolution especially in the cotton industry, the expansion of the British Empire for raw materials and increasing markets and the political in- ghting that prevented the Royal Mint from producing silver coin for about 65 years until the re-coinage of 1816 and 1818. At the same time I have met or communicated with so many friendly, knowledgeable and helpful people in museums, archives, auction houses and in the world in general, just doing the same as me, searching for knowledge and information.

It has been a wonderful ride and I would recommend it to anyone. However, it would not have been so exhilarating without the constant support of my wife Thérèse who, I believe, has learned as much as I have during this journey. I do hope that some of the lucky purchasers of these coins will take the baton handed to me by Harry Manville and continue the search for knowledge in this eld.

TTHE ERIC HODGE COLLECTION OF BRITISH MERCHANT COINS

he French revolutionary Bertrand Barère, in a speech to the National Convention in June 1794, made the following rather derogatory remark about the British victory over the French at the Battle of the Glorious First of June, “Let Pitt then boast of his victory to his nation of shopkeepers”. To add further insult, he might well have added …“ who are running out of small change”. As most numismatists well know, the shortage of circulating coinage was a major problem twice in the past 400 years and on both occasions it was manufacturing and commercial classes who were left to nd a solution to the problem.

From the end of the Civil War in 1648 until 1672, the proli c issues of tradesmen’s tokens lled the gap left by a lack of o cial government backed coinage. A century later, the same cycle was beginning to repeat. While the production of a gold coinage was reasonably well maintained throughout the reign of George III, the issues of silver coinage became very sporadic. Two tiny issues of Shillings in 1763 and 1798 and a larger coining of Shillings and Sixpences in 1787 did little to address the shortage of a silver circulating medium. By the mid 1770s, the o cial copper coinage was in a similar state and no base metal issues were struck during the twenty years after

1775. The huge international disruption caused by the revolution in France served to exacerbate these problems. As on the previous occasion, it was the merchants and manufacturers who provided a solution.

Things, however, had changed considerably in the century since 1675. The arrival of the industrial revolution brought about considerable advances in mechanised production, mining techniques and chemical manufacturing process. In the late eighteenth century it was no longer local merchants, innkeepers and tradesman who stepped in to correct the absence of circulating specie caused by an inept government, but rather the industrial pioneers of the day. From copper mines in Anglesey to cotton mills in Scotland, from tin mines in Cornwall to iron foundries in Warwickshire, it was businesses at the forefront of the industrial revolution that began issuing copper tokens.

Whilst the private provision of copper tokens aided in the conduct of low value, local exchange, it failed to address the pressing issue brought about by a general lack of silver coinage on these islands. When insu cient domestic silver specie is produced by a government, the gap tends to be lled by the import and use of foreign silver.

Centuries of economic mismanagement in Ireland meant that for much of the period from 1650-1900, foreign silver coins lled the void. Spain had vast resources of silver from its New World possessions and Spanish silver was a common circulating medium in Ireland. So much so that until 2002, the Reul was still a denomination on the coins - the Spanish Real being roughly equivalent to sixpence. And so to ll the silver gap in Britain, Spanish and Spanish-American coins were utilised, although circulating in much smaller quantities than the copper tokens.

Unlike copper, which almost always was used as a token coinage, silver coins were normally traded at or close to their intrinsic value and in this lies the problem that their weight and neness di ered from the accepted local coins. Their face value had to be continually assessed and agreed for every individual transaction with all the resultant opportunities for confusion, disagreement and error that that entailed. To avoid this, various merchants and manufacturers decided to stamp the coins with a value in local currency, normally pitched just above the intrinsic value of the metal. This system, begun in the 1780s and 1790s in the newly built mills in Cark-in-Cartmel, East Retford, Lanark and Rothesay amongst others, was even brie y (and unsuccessfully) adopted by the government.

By the mid-1790s, with a government pre-occupied by the threat from a hostile revolutionary regime in France, regal coinage was no longer t for purpose. In March 1797, the Treasury authorised the Bank of England to utilise the large quantities of Spanish Dollars it was holding in its vaults to provide an emergency coinage. These coins were to be hallmarked with the largest of the current hallmark stamps used by the Goldsmiths Hall. Unlike the private issues, no value was stamped on the coins and this was set by a government proclamation at 4/6. Three days later on March 9, having realised that the original price was below the intrinsic bullion value, the tari was raised to 4 Shillings and 9 pence. However, these coins were easily forged and counterfeited and within months, the whole scheme had to be abandoned. Two further attempts in 1799 and 1804 were short-lived and largely unsuccessful.

The private sector, however, continued with this method of providing coins for circulation, albeit in relatively small quantities and in a fairly restricted geographical area. A cursory glance at the coins in this catalogue reveals how many of the issuers were within a 40 mile radius of Glasgow. This might seem obvious, given the city was a major Atlantic-facing port with connections all over the New World, and had access to a regular supply of Spanish silver,

providing the host coins for such issues. Yet, the same could be said of Liverpool and Bristol, without the same result.

We can probably detect here the in uence of the new industrialists like Richard Arkwright Jr., Robert Owen and particularly David Dale, men committed to improving the conditions of their workers by providing housing and education, and improving factory conditions. The provision of a local coinage went hand-in-hand with these philanthropic e orts. Having begun thus in the 1790s, other manufacturers followed suit, along with numerous local merchants and benevolent societies. The Clyde ports of Greenock and Port Glasgow as well as the nearby town of Paisley,

could boast numerous issuers providing coinage for local trade. By the late 1820s however, the nancial crisis had passed and the nation’s shopkeepers had su cient coinage to meet their needs. The following announcement in the Greenock Advertiser provides a brief but eloquent coda to the entire counterstamped dollar series:

Notice: The subscribers will thank those persons holding the Spanish Dollars issued by them at four Shillings and sixpence, to send them in to their place of business as early as convenient to be exchanged, silver being now so plenty that they are no longer required for the convenience of trade. Mc e Lindsay & Co., 15 William Street, Greenock, 28th August 1828.

The Alloa colliery, owned by John Francis Erskine of Mar, was run by his mine superintendent, Alexander Bald (†1823). Erskine was a relatively enlightened employer for the times, In the early years of the 19th century he abolished the practice of miners’ wives carrying the mined coal to the surface - substituting iron narrow gauge railways and carriages instead.

Erected by David Dale and James Monteith in 1785, ownership passed to Monteith in 1792 and to Monteith’s brother Henry in 1802. The mill was run as Henry Monteith & Co., from then until at least 1840. Its most illustrious employee was the future explorer David Livingstone who entered the mills at the age of 10 as a piecer and became a spinner when he was 19. It is recorded of him that "he contrived to read in the factory by placing his book on the spinning jenny, so that he could catch sentences as he passed at his work." (S.

The Catrine Cotton Works was set up by Claud Alexander of Ballochmyle, the landowner and Glasgow merchant David Dale in 1787. Various mills and works were built over the next few years powered by water from the River Ayr. Workers were housed in a purpose built village, similar to Dale’s development at New Lanark where conditions were unusually good for the period. The mills had gas lighting installed in 1814, four years before gas appeared on the streets of either Glasgow or London..

It appears that this lot (which is original) and the following lot (which is an electrotype copy) were both bought and sold over the last 100 year as genuine items. Because of this and the fact that weights were rarely given in auction catalogues and images not always included, it is impossible to be sure that the provenances are completely correct. The vendor sums it up thus ‘I studied all the photos in the original catalogues and believe that what I have listed as the provenance for each coin is correct, but it is only my opinion and virtually impossible to prove’.

Lanark Mills was founded out of the partnership made in 1783 between the Glasgow industrialist David Dale (1739-1806), and Sir Richard Arkwright (1732-92), the Derbyshire engineer. The original mill opened in 1785 but burnt down three years later; subsequently rebuilt and with a second mill in full operation, the protable operation of the business was thwarted by the Napoleonic wars and Dale sold out in 1799 to his son-in-law, the social reformer Robert Owen.
