The Milwaukee Sentinel says that 4

however. 0. NJ. White has a 81 gold
coin and knows where there is anOth-
er one. The item in describing the
coin says: 1T is exactly the same in
diameter as a IS gold piece, but is
thinner. On its face is the we'll known
liberty head without the cap, how
ever. Around this are Is stars inter
spersed with the letter 6 G 8 81 =
Grams. The exact meaning of these
letters none of the bank officials have
been able to ascertain (the letters in
dictate the composition of the coin).
On the reverse side of the coin is a
five-pointed star into which is cut the
inscription: One steIla-4O0 cents
Around it are the words E Pluribus
Unum. Dec est Gloria and around
these forming the rim of this side of
the coin are the words: United States
of America. Four DOL
The coin Mr.. White owns is pre-
cisely like the one the Milwaukee pa
per describes. The Milwaukee bank
officials believe the coin in their pos
session is worth about $780,
In addition to this rare coin Mr.. VIII
hite owns probably one of the most
valuable COllecLlOnS OF United
gold coins in the country. The biggest
coin in it is a $50 slug. This coin Is
octagon-shaped, has a peculiar design
on both sides and was carried by Char
lie Cross as pocket-piece- He has
coins of every denomination down to a
gold rs cent piece. Two other rare
coins in the collection are called Uni
ted States assay coins. They were
coined in the days of the California
gold fever and although they are round
they are altogether different from any
gold money now in circulation. One is
a $40 piece, the other is a $40 coin
Aside from these are 50 coin and two
rare gold dollars, one of which is octa-
gon shaped The latest addition to the
collection is three gold Louisiana Pur-
chase dollars. One coin bears the head
of Jefferson. another the head of Will
lam Mckinley. The reverse sides of
the coins are alike. They sell for 50
each. The face value of Mr.. Whites
collection does not exceed $500, but
the collection as a whole is worth
thousand dollars.-Emporia Gazette.
