Item 1986/1 - Two letters from Hugh Pagan, one with an attachment

3 items, paper

Two letters from Hugh Pagan, the first with an attachment:
(a) typescript, one folio (recto & verso), dated 28 March 1986, entitled "Coin Hoards from England 1972-81", explaining "the genesis of the enclosed list" and the idea of making the BNJ the primary British outlet for the publication of coin hoards.
(b) typescript, one folio (recto & verso) dated 28 March 1986, thanking IS for sending a draft of his paper for the International Numismatic Congress and commenting upon it. HEP agrees that moneyers were persons of status certainly by the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) and might have figured as witnesses to royal charters already in the 8th-10th centuries, but he thinks that it may be going too far to argue that they were drawn from ministri. He also thanks IS for having sent him the note on the Stamford Bridge solidus.
