COL. STRONG's DOLLAR,
ra1nous Coin Owned by the Late Mayo
of New York

of New York
One Of Col. Strongs possessions OF
which he was extravagantly proud was
an 1904 dollar" He carried it in his
pocket for many years and valued 1t
at $4,000 says a writer in the New
York Press. The market price is con-
siderably less. though 1t is said there
are only three such dollars In exist
ence. A few years ago l could trace
seven. One is in the mint cabinet at
Philadelphia, the second belonged
to M. A. Stickney, the third to w. S.
lee, the fifth to w. D Wetmore, the
sixth 90 Col. w. L. Strong and the
seventh to Mr. scott Of Philadelphia.
Col. Strong's was formerly in the cabi-
net of Robert c. Davies, l was inform
ed, and was sold for $1,000. Our grand
old mayor used to ring it upon the
table at Richter's cafe, where he went
daily to eat his portion of crackers and
milk when the govt did not have a
grip on him.
One Of the mysteries is the disap-
pearance OF the dollars OF 1904 and
their fictitious value today. There
were issued from the mint no less than
1850 of them. Some say that almost
the entire mintage was lost at sea by
the sinking Of a vessel that was con-
veying it to China Others maintain
that the mintage of 1905 included this
mintage, or part Of it. The records
show that only 321 silver dollars were
coined in 1906. At any rate the 1904
dollar is commonly known among
numismatists as the king of rare Am
erican coins. Another mystery is that
this coin has not been counterfeited,
as were valuable ancient coins from
the fifteeth century down.

The Secret Service has unearthed another
band of counterfeiters, and secured a large
quantity OF bogus bills, which are so clever
ly executed that the average person would
never suspect them of being spurious.
