counterfeits average from 400 TO 500 fine.
Platinum counterfelts are dangerous as

they are heavily gold-plated. When they
have been in circulation for time the

Genuine coins of all kinds, for the sake
OF gain, are tampered with in various
ways. These operations are confined
almost exclusively 10 gold coins, which
are sweated, plugged, and filed.
Sweating is removing a portion Of the

is from one-twentieth 20 one-tenth.
Plugging the Holes.
Plugging is done by boring holes in the
coin. extracting the gold and filling the
cavity with a cheaper material. The
larger coius-dOUble eagles and eagles

pose. Holes are bored into the coin from

Coins Of this kind are very dangerous, as
they are perfect in appearance, the edges
only having been tampered with.
Filling Is most commonly done by saw

Coins Of all denominations from quarter

Another method Of filling is saving the
coin partly in two. from edge Of reeding,

The call gathered volume as II went

broke the day in pale splendor; later
still the sun rose from behind the AIary-

of farmers talking over the prospects of
