We have Michael's school teacher to thank for his extensive insights into the bronze penny series as she attracted his interest through a charity collection the teacher administered, requesting the children to donate pennies Michael was immediately attracted to the variety he noticed in the collection spurring him on to extensive studies of the series leading to his book first published in 1970. A rare opportunity to acquire historically significant and original workings.
