ALBANY CHURCH PENNY INFORMATION SOUGHT: CAPITAL D FOR PENCE?

Eric Newman writes: "In the Jan. 14, 2007 E-Sylum there was an
interesting item about the Albany Church Penny. I have been researching
this important subject for five years but never have completed writing
my article because I need a little more information. Perhaps our readers
can help.

"Some of the Albany Church tokens have had a letter 'D' added to the
die. I would like to know if there is any printed newspaper, book,
pamphlet, calculation table, price list, label or other printed item
prepared before 1800 which used a capital "D" rather than a small "d"
as an abbreviation for "pence". I am aware of instances where
Pennyweight was represented by D. Our readers have enough retrievable
knowledge to answer my inquiry. I would appreciate their input - what
a wonderful way to do research!"

[Eric's question is a touch one to answer, but perhaps some of the
colonial collectors among us will have knowledge of such a reference.
