Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'As to your own Duplicats of Saxon and Roman ancient Coyn in all Mettals, I’me most willing to let you have ancient Scotch pieces in exchange for such of them as I want, but it would be a very tedious bussienesse to draw out for you a Catalogue of all my Desiderata, there being many hundred Coyns of one and the same Emperour, differing in Reverses or Inscriptions on both sides, and I being desireous of all the varietes I can possibly purchasse. I would think it therefore much easier for you to send a List of your Saxon and Roman Duplicats, their Mettals, sizes, Stamps, with Inscriptions on both sides, that I might give you notice of them I want, and if ye have already any ancient Scotch Coyns ye may also let me know what they are, that I may supplie you with such as ye want. After I have heard from you I shall send my Duplicats to a friend at London who will be ready to deliver them to you or your Order, and receive what ye send to me. ... I bought lately in a Goldsmiths Shop a large Nero of Gold truly antique weighing upwards of ane unce, but could not be informed whether It have been found in this Kingdome.'
