lie by the circulation of the $50 pieces issued
by, Or bearing the stamp of Wass, Molitor & Co.
Upon weighing them in scale with the old octa-
gon slugs, it will be found that they weigh nearly
a dollar less than the old, or about two per cent.
If the manufacturers of the new coin can only dis
pose of it for slugs, they will make very hand
some profit. We are informed by a jeweler that
the old coin contains finer gold than the new. We
advise every body to take the new pieces at their
