Counterfeit Coia.
Ths Baltimore Sun says:

"a large quantity ct counterfeit half and
quarter dollar coin are low in circulation In
The city, and they are generally so well exc
cuted as to entirely escape the notice or those
not familiar with metal Some OF them are
said 10 be composed Of II portion OF silver, and
they are utterly worthless. They aIo heavily
plated by aid Of the galvsnio battery, but are
light, and more essily detscte1 by sorapiug the
surface than otherwise"
We publish this for tho purpose of putting
our citizens on their guard. Doubtess the
same spurious coin will be circulated here, II
ii has not already been done.
