COUNTERFEIT SILVER DOLLARS.
st. Louis Flooded With Illegal But
Heavy-Wcight Coin.

Counterfeit silver dollars OF greater
weight and fineness than those turned out
from Uncle Sans minis are the latest
in the coinmaker's art, and st. Louis is
the first city to suffer from them.
St Louis bank tellers have been &C
cepting the counterfelts without hesita-
ton. and It was only when they reached
the Sub-Treasury that their spurious
character was detected. United States
Treasurer Small sent one to the Mint for
assay. and found that there was no doubt
that there was more silver in the coun-
terfeit than in genuine coin. and that
its fneness exceeded that of the genuine.
