RW Julian's article: Boulton’s British copper from 1797-1807

If you haven't seen Numismatic News lately, check out this article. I wasn't all that interested in these coppers before I read the article, but after reading it I now have the desire to add them to my collection.

    The determination of Boulton and Watt and the climate of progress surrounding them is fascinating. So much advancement of minting methods and equipment took place during their time!

    If you're interested in reading even more on the subject I recommend:
