THE "BUZZARD" PENNIES.
A Denial of the story that Gold was
Used In Iheir Composition.
Neio York Times.

NSW %VIN AtOtSSs
For some time past a story has pro-
vailed to the effect that the nickel pen
MES issued from 1856 to 1858. and com
monty known as "buzzard" pennies
contained some gold which had been ac.
cidentally mixed with the alloy of cop-
per and nickel of which the pennies
were made. Recently J. G. Rodney. of
Austin, Texas, sent twenty of these pen
MES to the United States Assay Office. in
this city, with the information that the
pennies were being bought up at SIS per
hundred by speculators on the supposi-
tion that they contained gold. He asked
for an assay and information as To the
truth of the story, The communication
aud coins were forwarded to the mint at
Philadelphia. Superintendent Snowdep.
of the Pn:iade. phia Mint, in a letter TO
Superintendent Van Wyck, of the
Assay Office, says that the pen.
MES contain no precious metal and
consist OF an alloy of 85 per cent. of
copper and ID per cent. of nickel. The
false impression as to the presence of
precious metals in the coins he thinks
grew out of the fact that the pieces of
1856, technically known as pattern pieces,
were given nctltl0us value because but
few of them were issued. and were
eagerly sought after by numismatists on
account of their rarity, from fifty cents
to one dollar apiece being paid for them.
These pattern pieces were obtained from
the mint by dealers in, or collectors of
coin. and they were readily disposed Of
at the premium demanded as curiosities
At the present time they sell readily At a
much higher premium, as the "buzzard"
pennies Of 1856 are nearly all in the
hands OF collectors. No special vaine
attaches to the issue of any other wear.
superintendent Van Wyck sent a renIv
to MIR. Rodney, and also to a ladv from
Minnesota, who had made a similar in.
quiry. stating that the pennies were in
trlinslcally worth no more than their face
value. '-- '--'AA A''o''
