OF the gold coins says:
"The coinage OF legal tender gold
was authorized by the first coinage act

gold unit Of value Is the dollar, which
contains 25 $40 grains of standard
gold 800 fine. The amount of fine gold
is 23.22 grains, and the remainder of
the weight Is an alloy of copper. While
the gold dollar Is the unit and standard
of value, the actual coinage of the one
dollar piece was discontinued under
authority Of the Act OF September 2G,
1890. 49,. The silver unit is the dol

standard silver 900 fine. The amount
of fine silver In the dollar is c71H
grains, and there are 41H grains of
copper alloy. The standard silver dol

April 2, 1902. Its weight was 416
