to some small extent in the past, but
during the last year it has suddenly
become alarmingly prevalent. Its in
crease is believed to be due mainly to
the difficulties which have been placed
in the way of initiating United States |
currency. Counterfeiters cannot sue /
cessfnlly reproduce the fiber paper and
machine engraving of Government
securities; they find altering easier.
Another form of ofcoupterfeiting which
has obtained a sudden and remarkable
development of late is the gliding OF
silver coins for fraudulent purposes.
No sooner did the new twenty five cent
piece appear than its design suggested
todishonest persons the idea of trans.
forming it into a SO gold piece by the
simple process Of plating it with gold.
The words "Quarter Dollar" being OBJ
liberated by means of % punch, the sill
YER piece when coated with the yellow
metal will pass very well as An eagle.
But this method is improved by striking
out only the "Quarter" and soldering
to the coin in it's place three small
letters, making the word ''Ten, an
SIS" being added in the same fashion
on the end of the Dollar" Then it
only remains to do the plating, and
the profit is about SO. so. In like
manner a dime is changed into a 80
gold piece.
False eagles and hnlf-eagles of this
description have already been circu-
lated in great numbers AS a rule they
/, are passed without difficulty. Big
profits have undoubtedly been made
by those engaged in the industry.
