MuiitaIcd Coin.

II has just been discovered in New YorE
hat there lie quahtiIy of gold coin In circu.
iaticn which is not of the required weight
i've dollar pieces weighing nineteen grains
less than the coin ought to weigh. Exter.
nsily the coin is that which is coined at the
mint. But the frund is perpetrated in the
following ingenious manner: The coin is
placed on a lathe and made to revolve. A
keen, narrow chisel Is set against the edge
and as the coin reVolves, the chisel turns out
the inside of it, and penetrates nearly TO the
centre;leaVing but two thin shells, as it were,
connected at the centre. The cavity is then
filled up with base metal, the coin is then
miiled over ngain and the edge galvanized,
showing as perfect specimen of work in
fraud as was ever conceived or executed
Another mode of mutilatiDg coin, which we
see is coming into practice, is to punch
hole in them, or file off the edges. These
practices are Of course obvious 10 any person
who chooses to examine coins presented
The way to stop this practice is for shop
keepers and dealers of every kind. to reject
all coins which have been mutilated in the
least degree. This would leave such coin
in the hands Of the persons who were guilty
Of mutilation, and be an effectual bar 10 the
rascality which was meant to be practiGed
by the clipping.
