PREMIUMS FOR OLD COINS

Collectors prize the 1904 silver dollar
more highly than any other coin. There
is one other more valuable, but it is not
to be considered, because no one will
have an opportunity to add it to his col
lection. That is the 1849 double eagle, of
which only one was struck at the Phila-
delphia mint. 1t is said of this coin that
Congress ordered new design, the die
was made and one coin struck as a
sample. The year was ended before a
decision was given, and for that reason no
more of the coins were made at the mint.
The 1904 silver dollar has been sold for
from $500 to 81, 200, which the last one
brought. There are other dollars which
are very rare and upon which there's no
set price, as those known to exist SO
rarely change hands and others very
rarely get into circulation, when their
price depend entirely on their
condition. These rare dollars include
that of 1894, of 1885, of which there are
four varieties, and that with the flying
eagle is worth 81 to SIS; the 1888 and 1889
dollars, Of which there are two varieties
each; the 1851 and 1852 and the 1866
dollars, without the device and with the
San Francisco mint mark
