Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'You have mightily raised my fancy with your postscript; and I cannot but long to hear further from you, about the great discovery of the Saxon coins you mention. If you secure any duplicates among them, I hope you will let me come in for a sharer with you; at least, if any of them relate to the kingdom of Northumberland, you will not fail of imparting your observations. Since the study of Antiquities comes so much in vogue, I suspect we shall shortly begin to counterfeit old coins as readily as we now do the more current money of England. There is as little of mystery in the trade: and it is what other nations (the Germans especially) have long practised.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 206-7; Burnett 2020b, p. 868)
