THE NRw COUNTERFEIT ten dollar bills
which have ere ated SO great an excitement
among bankers and United States treasurers,
are the finest executed counterfeits ever tarown
upon the community. At first glance they
seem to be perfect imitation of the $40 green
back, and the printing seems to have been done
from the original plate, but there are points OF
difference which are thus noted In the origi.
nal, the shading around the 10 in the medal.
lion appears like fine network, snd ruEs
close Cp to the figures. In the counterfeit
note this shading 10 ''picked up and be.
comes coarse as il reaches the figures, forming
light streak or a circular haze similar to that
about the moon before rain. There is no haze
IN the genuine note This is a slight point for
detection. A clearer one is the fact that in
the original notes, within the light circle run.
ming under The figures ~, there are three and
third dots on the left OF the figure I. In the
counterfeit bill the one-third dot is missing
But an mfallible mark of distinction IL found
under the left wing OF the eagle. In the gem
uine notes are four distinct rows OF feathers
under the wing. In the counterfeit. these
rows OF feathers are undefine1, and this
seems Ia be the only weak spot IN the whole
engraving.
