<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colonialjohn, post: 7582250, member: 57741&quot;]Even Dr. Freidus could not prove me wrong. They simply did not have the equipment, money &amp; technology to produce finished planchets. Its basically water removing equipment during mining copper ore which is also a major deterrent. Ores could be finished and impurities removed and even partly smelted but the finished planchets were produced in England. In my research for the book Forgotten Coins and the debate at the time with XRF, trace metal analysis and provenance which we know know is helpful but no substitute for Isotopic Analysis when tracking coins to ore these facts came to light. Ingots were imported back or finished flans but the documentation seems virtually absent in this regard also but it can be no other cycle of ore to flan other than via England during this period and this includes the Confederation State Coinage also such as Massachusetts, NJ, Vermonts and Connecticuts.
