OLD COIN FOUND.
Interesting Find in Ploughpd Field
Gold Piece of Louis Mi.

4 singular incident last Saturday was
the find by Il negro on the farm Of Hack
burn and Willett three miles from New
bern of gold coin. The man was
walking across field that was ploughed
M last fall and discovered tine golu
coin in the soil. 1t was untarnlshed
and almost MS perfect as If 1t had just
come from the mint.
The coin is dated 1910 and ON the
date or diverse side is Il head with Il
wreath and the words "Iud. MIL ID.
c. and "Fr. ct nav. Ret, which
seems to mean, Louis Nil by the
grace Of God, King of France and
Navarro.
The reverse has Il central device with
an "A" inclosed in a small circle, and
the Latin inscription, Imp, CHRIS. Regn.
Vine"
The coin was purchased from the
finder by Mr. Erjh blackburn and a good
deal of interest was shown when Is
was handed around by him last night.
1t was weighed by Mr.. Bradham and
found to contain 30 grains or about u
grains less than Il United States half
eagle or $40 gold piece. The deScrlp-
ton of such a coin could not be found
in Il book on coins ami a description
will he sent to some collector or agent
and it's value ascertained.
1T is interesting TO speculate how the
coin ever found lodgment in the spot
where it evidently mas rested for very
many years. That of course can never
be known. Perhaps it once jingled in
