Multi-Media Summary
Michael Hodder completes an exhaustive study of the New Jersey copper coinage of 1786-88. He has used statistical analysis of metrology and die-state records of several thousand coins. His research has led to a revision of die-emission sequences and mint attributions that were proposed by earlier researchers. Not only has the terminal date for the coinage been pushed back to 1789-90, but Mathias Ogden's role over the whole period has been re-examined. Learn about some important research in a fascinating area of early American coinage. Lecture with diagrams. Speaker(s): Michael Hodder.
