The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 20, May 13, 2001, Article 3 TOBACCO COLONIES COINAGE Colonial Newsletter editor Phil Mossman writes: "Issue #116 [April 2001] of The Colonial Newsletter has been distributed to subscribers. This number features an extensive study by Thomas A. Kays of Alexandria, Virginia, on Spanish pistareens uncovered in hoards and by metal detectors within the "Tobacco Colonies." He has gathered a study collection of 199 examples of either cut or whole coins which he analyzes in detail in his 30-page article. This work is a valuable resource for those interested in 18th century Spanish coins and in the money of pre-Federal America. He emphasizes the fact that pistareens and their fractional and cut parts formed an important segment of early American currency and as such deserve to be included in collections spanning that time frame."
