"Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge: Approximate Holdings of Later Medieval English Coins", by Mark Blackburn, in typescript (photocopy), four pages on four folios (recto only), signed "M.A.S.B. December 1987", listing the holdings of short-cross coinage (1180-1247) and long-cross coinage (1247-1485), broken down by reign where applicable and by mint and denominations based on the information of the coin tickets and/or location of the coins in the trays, "which may not be entirely correct". There are about 1581 coins in total, excluding the holdings of Corpus [Christi College] (46 coins), Queens College (100 or more, mostly Edward pennies), and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (unknown number, local finds of poor quality).
