COLONIAL NEWSLETTER PUBLISHED

  Gary Trudgen, editor of The Colonial Newsletter writes:
  "The December 2002 issue (CNL-121) of The Colonial
  Newsletter has been published.  It features an important
  paper by Dr. Brian Danforth on the St. Patrick coinage.
  For the first time, the questions concerning this coinage
  of who, when, where and why have been conclusively
  answered.

  Next, an interesting report by David Gladfelter is presented
  on a recently discovered colonial paper money hoard.
  The notes in this hoard are primarily from the Colony of
  New Jersey and span an issue period of 24 years, 1757 to
  1781.   The report includes two appendices, one containing
  a partial list of the hoard and the other illustrating one of the
  notes.

  Finally, this issue includes a Technical Note by Byron K.
  Weston concerning counterfeit halfpence whose dies were
  corrected when the counterfeiters realized the Royal Mint had
  not continued the production of regal halfpence into the year
  1776.  Several date area enlargements are provided of
  1775-dated halfpence where the last digit of the date clearly
  shows remnants of a 6 under the 5.
