a Large Number of Spurious Dollars in

Coin.
There are a great many spurious silver
% dollars in circulation. The first
National Bank at Fifth and Market
streets was the first to notice them. The
counterfeit is good imitation of the law
full dollar, and when being handled rap
idly with other coins of like denomina-
lions, is hard to detect The most of the
coins caught were dated either, 1880 or
1886 They came in generally from
storekeepers although they were not
always confined to that class.
The characteristics of the spurious
coin is noted from those now in the
banks, are as follows: 1t is lighter in
weight, so much SO that when tested
singly it can be easily detected. the
milling on the edge is not so clearly cut
as on the good coin; the ring. though
silvery, is different from that of the law
full coin in color some are much lighter
than the good, while others have the
color of lead, all, however, as stated
above, with quite clear ring.
The government Coin Detector. while
# gives no description of this particular
counterfeit, makes general statement.

grains lighter than the good com. max.
ing difference Of the weight of two pen.

day, dated 1886. within the past week or

and declined.
So good is the counterfeit that il is

TO detect it.
