 The New Haven banks report the circu- lation this week of large amount of coun- terfeit silver coin, principally half dollars. Yesterday one merchant took in three which deceived him and his error was not detected until the coin was banked. It is said they are in free circulation about the state. The spurious money is light weight has a greasy, shiny look but a sharp ring It is thought there are three or four differ ent makes of the half dollar counterfeit, as the weight and elearness of the dies differ materially. Some come quite near the standard weight and are clear cut, while another lot seems to fall far short of the mark and is more easily detected. But the former are dangerous coin to handle and cannot be discovered by the ring at all. 70
