Publication Date of Gold Pieces[edit]

Sir , please accept my apologies if I am mistaken. The entries to Phyliss Bentley state that she wrote 'Gold Pieces' in 1968 about Coiners who defrauded the government by clipping the edges of gold coins and melting them down and was exposed by a 12 year old boy. But in 1956 I played the part of that boy in the school play 'Yellow Pieces' in the prescence of Phyliss Bentley at Bolton Brow Secondary School, Sowerby Bridge West Yorrkshire,(Which was part of the West Riding in 1956)The event was reported in the Halifax Courier with a photograph. Kind Regard Robert Harvey

Her play "The Coiners" was 1954 or earlier -- see http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctv/1954-06-24. While IMDB says that the TV movie The Coiners (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4799832/) was based on her novel, it appears that novelisation occurred in 1968, unless a source disproving this can be found. -Hydronium Hydroxide (talk) 15:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
