A dangerous counterfeit silver quar-
ter of the vintage" of 1892 has made its
appearance. The coin is in imitation of
one made at the New Orleans mint this
year. and the only difference is that the
eagle, ETC., on the reverse side is little
too clearly outlined. The weight of the
two coins-the genuine and the spurious
are the same. The only flaw is in the
ring of the coin when it is dropped. ut
is the most dangerous counterfeit have
come across in all my experience" says q
business man. Its face is absolutely
perfect. and the reverse is nearly so. The
weight is just right and 80 is the size. In
fact. the only fAw is the ring. and the
milling is slightly defective"
