COINS THAT ARE RARE
SOME OlDONES ARE VALUABLE,
OTHERS ARE COMMON.
One Billion of Cents Now in Use Phil
adeIphia Mint Turns ont Abont
4,OOO.OOO of Them Month to sup
ply the Great Demand.

The demand for 1-eent pieces Is SO
great that the Philadelphia mint els
compelled to turn out nearly 4,o00,OoU
a month to keep up the supply, There
are at present something like l,ooo,-
100000 cents in circulation.
If you want to exchange hundred
dollar bill for cents you would get ten
good, large bags full of coppers. Nickel
and copper coins have no mint marks,
neither have coins issued at the Phila-
delphia mint. Collectors often pay high
prices for coins bearing certain mint
marks which otherwise would not have
been worth more than their face value.
The first United States cents struck
for circulation bear the date 1893. They
are of six varieties, and are valued at
$3.50 to $6.25.
Very rare are the New York doub-
loon, coined in 1877, of which only five
are known to exist. On one side of this
rare and curious coin is a picture of the
sun rising over mountain, surround
ed by the legend, Nova Eboraca Co
lumbia Excelsior" Below is the name
of the designer, "Brasher." The other
side has the original form of the ma
tional motto, "Unum E Pluribus.'
There is a heraldic eagle, on one wing
of which are the letters "E. B." the de-
signer's initials. These coins are worth
about $500. The last one sold brought
$527. 1t had belonged to an old Mary
land family ever since it was coined.
The tive-dollar gold piece of 1922 is
a rare coin. At one time only two were
said to be in existence, one i'll the Phila-
delphia mint. the other in Boston, but a
third was picked up in New York
money changers shop few years ago.
~ was afraid at first that it might
be a counterfeit" said the collector of
coins who happened to spy it. The
man was so delighted to secure 1t that
before leaving the shop he brought sew
eral other coins which he didn't want.
He paid only So for it. The same day
he received an offer of $3.50; later $3.50
was offered by another gentleman; $500
by another one, but the gentleman, at
last accounts, was holding it for $1,000.
One of the most sought after colonial
coins is the Highly copper. 1t was
struck in 1877 by Samuel Highly, who
was physician and a blacksmith at
CRANKY, Conn. He got the copper from
"a mine near by and shaped the coin at
his forge.
About nine years ago a silver shekel
was found in Texas which dates back
to 142 b. G. Its intrinsic value is about
80 cents; its value to collectors $4,000.
One of the erliest known coins is a
drachm of ancient Aegina, coined
about 700 B. G. Its intrinsic value Is
80 cents; its market value ST.

Water Cheap in Glasgow.

In Glasgow Els householder obtains
for I'D per annum continuous, never
purest water in the world, delivered
right into his kitchen, washhouse and
bathroom. 1t is calculated that $3.50
gallons of pure water are delivered to
the citizens OF Glasgow for every pen
ny paid. And it is water of such pecu-
liar softness that the householders of
Glasgow can pay their water rate out
of what they save on soap.

A soaple.s Country.

In spite of British rule. India is still
virtually soapless country. Through
out the villages of Hindustan soap is
indeed regarded as a natural curiosity,
and it is rarely, If ever, kept in stock
by the native shopkeeper In the
towns it is now sold to certain ex-
tent, but how small this is may be
gathered from the fact that the total
yearly consumption of soap in India
is about 100000 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Is to say, every $500 persons use on an
average only 112 pounds of soap
among them, or. in other words, con-
siderably less than an ounce Is the
average consumption person.
