  Here's one of the larger collections recently sold
  
  Start with James II, then select W&M. Lot descriptions start with "Tin issue". You'd have to contact Neil Paisley for a PR on those lots, if interested. Maybe someone here has a copy as well.....have fun.

  I have two tin farthings of james ii and one tin halfpence of james II-- all are a good deal worse condition than the pieces you have pictured. In fact my halfpence even the faintest shadow of brittania and the bust is hard to make out through the wear and corossion. I think the tin coins of charles II and william and mary are even harder to find than the james II pieces, so I assume they were struck in smaller numbers.
