Excerpt from The Copper, Tin and Bronze Coinage and Patterns for Coins of England: From the Reign of Elizabeth to That of Her Present Majesty
In dealing with the coins composed of tin and its alloys, I have applied the common name of tin coins to all, although it is obvious that some would more properly be described as of pewter. I have found it all but impossible to distinguish between those coins in which the quantity of the alloy is more or less infinitesimal.
