The chase after note cOunterfeiters in
the West has again brought the Secret
Service officials into prominence. Il is
probable that there Will be a general
roundup Of bogus note makers in the vi
cinity Of Chicago before a great while.
Chief W1lkie. OF the Secret Service. in
speaking on the various ways for counter
feiting. said this morning to a Times re
porter that coins Of ali kinds and denomi-
nations have been initiated by bogus money
makers. The most dangerous counterfeits
are those struck from die. and are usu-
ally limitations Of gold coins. Molds Of
various kinds are extensively used, but
counterfeits so made said Chief Wilkie,
are much inferior 10 those made with
die They have a fine appearance. the
lettering and milling being sharp and
clear. and the ring usually good. In some
instances they are almost perfect fac
SMILES OF the genuine. They are usually
a trihe short weight, however. and the
edges or reading is not so sharp and clear
as in genuine Many OF these coins are
fun weight.
In cOunterfeits made from a mold. let
ternig, milling, and reading are usually
poor. the weight very defective and the
coins lack the sharp and clear-cut appear
ance OF the genuine.
Most counterfeit silver coins in circu-
iation are made from molds, said Mr.
Wilkie. as il is an inexpensive form Of
counterfeiting Some fine specimens have
been produced in this way, but usually
they are much lighter than the genuine,
and if Of the required weight differ in di-
ameter or thickness.
Regarding the metals used in the pro-
cess. MIR. Wilke said there are various
kinds. Principally. however platinum,
silver. copper, brass. antimony aluminium.
zinc. type metal. lead. and their numerous
compositions are made use of.
Among the most dangerous Counterfeits
0f gold are those of a composition OF gold,
silver and copper. They are a low grade
gold. and the acid test shows they lack the
fneness Of standard gold used by the
United States mint which is goo fine
These counterfeits." continued Chief
Wlikie. "avCrage from 400 TO goo fine. Plat
mum counterfeits are dangerous. as the
metal used gives the required weight and
they are heavily gold plated. When they
have been in circulation for a time the
plating wears Off especially on the edges.
The most dangerous counterfeit coin
is made Of composition Of antimOny and
lead, the former metal predominating-
These cOunterfeits are limitations Of the
dollar, have a fine appearance and are
heavily silver plated. They have a fair
ring. Some are only slightly below the
standard weight, Some pieces among the
smaller coins are made Of brass. struck
from a die. and when heavily plated are
fair limitations. They lack the required
weight. however, except in a few instances.
Counterfeits OF type metal lead. and other
compositions are much lighter than genU-
inc. and those having the required weight
are much too thick.
Genuine coins Of all kinds for the sake
OF gain. are tampered with I'm various
ways. These operations are confined al
most exclusively to gold coins which are
sweated. plugged and filled"
