Coin. Which HAD Their Day.

Recent mention of the disappearance OF
the $50 gold piece from circulation and
the premium this coin commands as Il
curio has set many to rummaging In old
pockctbooks and the bottoms of cashboxes
and drawers In search Of odd or out-of-
date coins. Some have found $3.50
piece, but not many. The 81 piece. once
quite common. hut always a sort Of curl
osity, is pftener found. and many have
specimens of the little gold coins repre-
scnting 2, cents and 80 cents. which were
net minted by the government ana prol,-
ably have not so much gold In them AS
they represent. They used to pass as
coin. hut were never In general circuln-
zion, being go easily lost that they soon
became scarce. One of the handsomest
coin relics seen Is a $40 gold piece bear
ing the mint stamp of 1I30. 1t is lnrger
than the present $40 piece. The owner
has it hung In IL hand and wears 1t as a
charm on his watch chain. The owner
saws he refused an offer of $50 for this
relic The old octagonal $50 pieces were
quite common in California In early days,
when gold dust wis largely used as cir
culating medium. They were made of
pure gold. an( while they had not the
elegant finish of the gold coins minted
by the government in these days, many
still remember them as the handsomeSt
coin they ever saw. Many people now
would consider them handsome on nc
count of the $50 In them.-Portland Orego-
