I have written a short article for “Tomlinson’s Cyclopædia,” for the
purpose of explaining (as far as the limited space at my disposal would
allow) some of the details of the process of Coining, and by permission
of Mr. Tomlinson I am allowed to have a few copies of that article
printed separately for private circulation.
I take advantage of this opportunity to acknowledge most gratefully
that the information I have been so fortunate as to obtain on the
subject of Coining has been gained in consequence of the opportunities
you have afforded me in my position in the Royal Mint. With heart-felt
thanks for the privileges you have accorded me, and for the support you
have given me,
I beg to remain, Sir,
Your most faithful servant,
GEO. F. ANSELL.
ROYAL MINT, _August, 1862_.
