UPDATE ON NEWMAN'S ALBANY CHURCH PENNY RESEARCH

On a related topic Eric Newman writes: "The E-Sylum has become more
exciting as time goes by. You have become an information clearing house.
You were nice enough to put my original inquiry about the use of "D" on
some of the Albany Church Pennies and my question as to whether the
capital form of "d" for penny was used in printing type anywhere prior
to 1800. No comment has as yet come so far as I know.

"I have done and continue to do research on the entire subject. However,
you added material about a recent sale of the coin and then a reproduction
die turned up on eBay.  You included an article from the Albany paper as
to the price the item brought. This article mentioned the older references
which you included.  The result is that I asked the Presbyterian Church
history archives in St. Louis something about Communion tokens. The new
pastor of the present Albany Presbyterian Church independently added his
opinion. Now I have asked the Philadelphia Presbyterian Archives for
other data and they agreed to look into the matter.

All I want to point out is that if you put an inquiry into The E-Sylum,
you never know what is going to develop."
