FACTS ABOUT THE COINAGE.
Director Of the Mint Gives Informa-
ton as 70 Old and New issues.

Director Of the Mint Gives Informa-
tion as to Old and New Issues.
The director Of the mint is called
on to answer such a vide range OF
questions concerning the values Of
old and new coins and medals that
he has found It necessary to issue
circulars covering matters Of this
sort Il tells some interesting facts.
It appears that the mint does not buy
old coins or paper money except some
rare colonial coins in fine condition,
which are desired for the mint cabi-
net.
Mutilated or uncurrent United
States gold and silver coin is pur-
chased as bullion. The mint has no
pattern pieces for sale. The govern
rnent paws no premium for the return
of any Of its coins or paper money.
New coins cannot be struck until an-
thorized by an act OF congress. The
mint supplies United States coins on
ly and not Of any past date. The $50
gold piece and the half-dollar and
quarter-doIlar pieces in gold were
struck by private parties on the Cali
fornia coast during the 1s49 period
and not by the United States gov
srnment.
The coinage OF the following coins
ceased in the years named: Half and
1-cent. copper. in 1857; 1-cent, nickel,
1864; half-dime and cents, silver,
and 2 cents bronze. in 1873; 20 cents,
silver. 1878; trade dollars. 1888; 81
and So, gold. and cents, nickel, 1889.
The Columbian half-dollsr was coined
in 1898. The Lafayette dollar was
struck in 1899, the date on the coin
$4,000 being that Of the unyeiling Of
the memorial
There are certain markings on ev-
cry United States coin that enable
the place Of its coinage to be located.
Those struck at the Philadelphia mint
have no mint mark, but those struck
at all other mints are distinguishet by
a small letter on the reverse, near the
bottom. These letters are: @ for
Charlotte. ~ c., discontinued in 1851
&C for Carson City. New, discontinued
in 1898; d for Dahlonega, Ga. discon-
tinued in 1861; o for New Orleans
and S for San Francisco.
The coins of the United States now
authorized by law are: In gold, dou
Bile eagIe, eagle. half eagle and quar-
ter eagle; in silver. half-dollar, quar-
ter-dollar and dime: minor, scent
