COunterfeiting Coins.
WASHINGTON, June 28.-ReportS received
from Secret Service Agents in all parts of the
country indicate that the business of Coun-
terfeiting silver coins is a large and rapidly
increasing one Spurious issues include
the new silver dollar, the trade dollar,
halves and quarters. Those of larger de-
nominations are more numerous. AT Be-
cret Service headquarters in the Treasury
Department hundreds of sacks of these
counterfeit coins, captured in different
parts of the country, have already accumu'
lated, and fresh additions to the stock are
daily received. An analysis Of the coins
shows they are composed of block tin, anti.
mony and glass, cast in moulds made OF
plaster of paris. Among new lot of coun'
terfeit coins received to-day some were
found which in appearance and by ordinary
acid tests could not be distinguished from
genuine Careful examination led to the
discovery that they were manufactured by
the electrotyping process, sufficient coat
ing of silver being placed upon the surface
to make it resist acid.
