OVER NEW COINS
o WORK AT MINI

Philadelphia. Dec. t2-lr ihc.e ,rouh,ous
financial times, when the greatest concern
of nearly everybody Is currency. IL no
matter what form. the numisnat.s;s have
sct up such a howl about the -. tiaud-
ems design for the new twenty-do.lar coins
that the mint authorities have stopped
coininG them. They are still grinding out
enough single and double eagles of the
old pattern to be worth Sl.cvl.vDQ every
week.
One may stack the old pattern Of coins
up as high as YOU please so long rs you
can get them. The banks have been
obj"cting to he new design because the
relief. or the raised part of the moulding
of the eagle and other figures upon tho
coins, was so high. and there Was no
milling or rim at the edges to Offset them,
tina the coins would not stack up we'll.
As the banks are about the only places
whore there is much of a habit of stack
ing up gold coin, their objections count.
A Whole Lot More.
Numismatists say that the new 500 coin
is now worth So or s2S. and that If the
issue should be recalled by the secretary
of the treasury the coins would be worth
a whole lot more.
In all 5000 OF them have been pressed
into shape, and no more will he for some
time to come-at least not before orders
come from the director OF the mint at
Washington to so ahead and make some
more. Their making has been Il very
slow process. They are virtually hand
made. That is the press upon which they
have been made is worked by hand. in
stead OF by the machine-driren coin
presses employed in the making CT The
old coins The relief" OF the new de-
signs made 1t impossible TO press them
OH the regular presses.
Meanwhile the designs have been re-
yfrn tn tba CT IAD. eN,I1t ne

or new designs created to take their
place. 1t Is likely that the legend, In
