English countermarked shillings/sixpences - literature request

[JLS 209]

I have slowly been acquiring a small group of countermarked shillings and sixpences; mainly the former. The host coins are all extremely worn early milled pieces, with generally no details discernible. The countermarks are typically initials and words, with late 18th century style fonts. Here's an example of a piece with 5 different countermarks: L..[two letters], PC, R.R., RE AA and MANHIC. Anyone aware of any literature or theories on these pieces ?

There is a book by Davis & Waters, published in 1922

Tickets and Passes of Great Britain and Ireland

(Struck Or Engraved on Metal, Ivory, Etc. for Use at Theatres, Public Gardens, Shows, Exhibitions, Clubs, Societies, Schools and Colleges; Also Truck Tickets, Colliery Checks, Railway Passes, Gambling, Lottery and Racing Tickets, Etc)

 

However should you be able to find a copy, it will cost you both arms, a leg and your first born. Last one I saw was around £475. Try your County Library.

Thanks - wouldn't have thought these would be in Davis, but it's a sensible place to look - they definitely cover a lot of countermarked copper coins, can't remember there being much countermarked silver listed. Should be able to get access to a copy in the British Library.
