|Grand document='Yesterday one Sanford came to the Publick Library, with Cole the Ingraver, on purpose to look over our Coyns, & to take the Impressions of some of them. Cole says he has got a good Collection of his own, & that he is acquainted wth the chief Virtuosos in London, who have any Coyns. Quaere whether this be true?'
