It is not surprising that there was no official copper coinage during Queen Anne&#039;s reign.</p><p><br /></p><p>Previously, I have mostly confined myself to the Ancients at his site because there has been little interest in early modern English / British coinage here.&nbsp; I am impressed, however, that there are signs that there may be some passion for early milled coinage after all.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an English literature minor in college, I&#039;ve learned it&#039;s futile to enter into grammar and common usage debates. So I won&#039;t at this site, either.</p><p><br /></p><p>In one of the above responses, however, the statement was made that William and Mary didn&#039;t &quot;usurp&quot; the crown from Mary&#039;s psychopathic father, James II. (I would have been a strong supporter of the Glorious Revolution, by the way.) The pleasant euphemism of the day (1688) was that James abdicated or even abandoned the crown. (This is similar in many ways to the propaganda campaign Gaius Octavius used against Mark Antony.)</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I have always been a supporter of the Stuart sisters. The older Queen Mary was beautiful and elegant. The younger Queen Anne was feisty and resilient. These courageous two sisters helped usher in the constitutional parliamentary monarchy that helped shape the modern world.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/british-the-queen-has-died.249659/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/british-the-queen-has-died.249659/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/british-the-queen-has-died.249659/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mourning-a-great-monarch-english-medal-of-mary-ii.240407/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mourning-a-great-monarch-english-medal-of-mary-ii.240407/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/mourning-a-great-monarch-english-medal-of-mary-ii.240407/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Good stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
