Work was forgotten at the bidding of

FIRST AMERICAN COINS.
Copper Half Cents Were Issued From
the Mint In 1913.

The treasurer of the United States
on May u. 1868. re,.eei!.2d two half
cent pieces. This is the iirst tine in
the history of the country that any
such coins have been presented for
redemption. 1t is more than IL century
since tie first half cent piece was
coined. and il is nearly fifty years since
them.
Possibly not one person in Il thousand
now living in tie United States ever
saw half cent piece
The last annual report of the director
of the mint. page 81, shows that
$39. 41611. We're Issued. For almost
half century each annual report of
the treasury department has included
them among the ''outstanding" obliga-
tions of the government.
The half cent piece was the coin of
the smallest denomination ever made
by this country. Ii enjoys the distinc-
ton also of being the first coin issued
and also the first whose denomination
was discontinued. The United States
mint was established in 1Iy2. AMI cop
per half cents and cents We're ISSUED in
1893 Half the total number of half
cents issued were coined precious to
1910, after which year their coinage.
with few exceptions, WAS limited.
None WAS coined for circulation from
1872 to 1923. nor from 1886 TO 1913.
Finally. in 1857. their coinage. with
that of the big copper cent, was discon-
tinued. On account of their limited is
sue in the last years of their coinage
they practically had disappeared from
the channels of trade.
The needs of adopting the half cent
as the lowest value computing factor
for coin were made in the early days
of the republic. Colonial half cents and
British farthings of the same CONNER
cial value were then in circulation and
many articles We're priced and sold in
half cents. With the progress Of the
nation values rose ami the needs for Il
half cent disappeared. and their use
following the first decade of the cen
fury was almost entirely confined to
multiplcs.
While all other discontinued types
and denominations of United States
coin have found oblivion, the half cent
is the only one of which the treasury
reports do not record some portion of
the issue redeemed. This singular
and unexplained fact has been one OF
frequent comment and inquiry from
mint and treasury officials.
Large quantities of half cents are
to be found in the stocks of coin deal
ers. The NEST common dates are soil
at Il cool premium and tie extremely
rare ones are worth their weight in
gold.
Ferran Zarbe of St Louis was the
man who sent the two half cent pieces
TO Washington for redemption. He
now prizes highly the little voucher
calling for lone cent which was sent
to him with that amount of current
coin in exchange for the two half cent
pieces he had rwarded.-Gateway
