BALTIMORE, March "A silver dollar
of the coinage Of 1893. which has been
.,sweated'' by an expert in such nanipu-
lation OF coins. has turned up here It Is
seldom that experts waste their time on
silver coins. as the measure of reward
hardly pays for the time and labor en-
pioyed on the work
From this coin the whole of the interior
has been removed. This was done by cut
ting out the face or the side which con-
tains the Liberty head, in a very thin
plate so that the impress of the stamp
ing was not disturbed. The silver was
then scooDed out Of the other side and
the shell refilled with a mixture of pa
per, tin. lead. etc. the mass being forced
In evidently under heavy pressure. The
thin cap was then replaced and the edges
Of the coin remllled- The milling was
poorly done, and openings sufficient to
insert knife blade appeared The amount
of silver extracted would probably not
amount TO over twenty or twenty-five
cents in value As far as appearance goes
the ''Swea ted coin would easily pass for
genuine. but It has no ring. giving GU 4
dead. hollow sound when dropped on a
hard surface The sweating Of GOLD is
