Letter from Peter Sarris, in typescript, single page, dated 6 December 2010, with attachment; in the letter, PAVS requests permission to publish a photographic reproduction of the Anglo-Saxon coin "seeming to bear an image of Christ", which IS had published with D.

Letter from Philip Skingley, manuscript, one page, undated but, based on context, from very early in the new year, with three attachments. PS wishes IS a Happy New Year and encloses a copy of a letter from Brad Shepherd and an article that he has submitted for publication in the Numismatic Circular. The letter and article draw attention to an erroneous attribution of Lord Stewartby in his book on English coins. PS asks for IS's advice about the proposed article, asking whether the author, Brad Shepherd, has a point.
The three attachments are as follows:
(a) Photocopy of a letter from Brad Shepherd to Philip Skingley, typescript, single page, dated 21 December 2009, recounting that he recently acquired "the new 'English Coins' volume by Lord Stewartby" and noting that the "rose" mint-mark commonly associated with a unique farthing of Henry VIII from his second coinage is not a rose at all but a lis. BS says that he is the owner of the coin, having acquired it from DNW [i.e. Dix, Noonan and Webb] several years earlier; he also states that his attribution is confirmed in an article by Tim Webb Ware from the 1980s and through correspondence with Paul Withers. Accordingly, there are no Henry VII second coinage farthings with a rose mint-mark.
(b) Draft paper, typescript with illustrations, two pages on two folios (recto only), undated, entitled "Misattribution of the Henry VIII 'rose' mintmark farthing", by B. Shepherd. The paper argues that the mint-mark of the rose reputedly on the second coinage farthing of Henry VIII from the Tower mint is not a rose but a lis. The mark on this unique coin resembles that on other Henry VIII farthings, where it is clearly distinguishable as a lis.
(c) Published version of the same paper of B. Shepherd, entitled "Misattribution of the Henry VIII 'rose' mintmark farthing", excerpted from the Numismatic Circular, May 2010, p. 73.

Letter in which MA notes that he has been working a chapter on the period from 1158 to 1278.

Finally, MA describes some results of his recent research on two new mint accounts that may be of interest to Lord Stewartby, one of the Bury St Edmund moneyer John de Rissebroth for 1250 and the other of Calais for 1442.

Photocopy of letter from Stewart Lyon to Simon Keynes, in typescript, single page, dated from Ardraeth on 11 September 2009, with one attachment. In the letter, SL informs SK that he has received from Martin Allen photos of a "fascinating penny ... found very recently near Chichester ... of Eadred with floral reverse based on one of Edward the Elder's special types. He describes the coin as "broken in three pieces" but notes that it is the first such recorded penny, nevertheless adding that "a round halfpenny by a moneyer Hildulf, probably of this type, is known (BMS 685)". He says that "The moneyer of the new floral coin, Eadweard, is known for two pence of Edmund", and he puts forward evidence for identifying the mint as Shrewsbury. The previously unrecorded coin is unusual in that it gives the king's title as REX SAXONUM instead of REX ANGLOR~. He therefore asks why moneyers working in a town such as Shrewsbury "would changed Eadred's title from (or to) Rex Anglorum to (or from) Rex Saxonum. The letter refers to enclosure of an enlarged photo. The attachment consists in a green post-it note that was affixed to the photocopied letter; the note is in manuscript, dated 11 September [2009], addressed to Ian [Stewart], asks for his views on the letter's contents and refers to an enclosed photo, though no photo remains associated with the letter.

Letters from Stewart Lyon, manuscript, one folio (recto & verso), dated from Ardraeth on 6 September 2009, recounting his recent visit with Robert Graham and summarising very briefly his collection, as follows: "Edward III (lots), Richard II (some), Henry IV (hardly any), Henry V (some), Henry IV (fair amount), Edward IV (loads), Richard III (a few, including a halfpenny from very worn dies if Edward IV, but with fresh pellets for the eyes)". Stewart Lyon describes Mr Graham's farm as occupying "high ground in the back of beyond, about ten miles north of Hereford" and "hard to find". He writes that the part of the house that he saw was "like a relic of a bygone era, with very basic and mostly damaged wooden furniture", adding that [his wife] Elizabeth "wouldn't go in". He describes Mr Graham himself "as an oddball", which he says is consistent with the impression from locals of whom he was asking directions, but he notes that Mr Graham is a collector of considerable interest. He finishes with a brief mention of the recently concluded Glasgow Congress, and in a postscript, he asks if there is any news on IS's [stolen] Scottish coins.
