Uncle Sam Wants to Know
About Stripping of Coins.

New York, Jan. st was learned
yesterday that Federal Secret Ser
vice agents have been making can
vass of jewelers. and electroplating
shops in the Maiden lane district in an
effort to run Gown persons suspected
of stripping coins-that is, removing
mall quantities Of gold or silver from
The surfaces of coins by chemical
process. Inquiries also were made az
to several new kinds of coin jewelry
including articles made of Lincoln
pennies.
The inquiry as to coin stripping was
started after many circulating coins
including $50 gold pieces, We're found
to be short Of the prescribed weight
The loss seemed to be more than is
usual when coins are worn off from
frequent handling. There are sus-
picions that coins have been reduced
in weight by the stripping process. in
which they are dipped for an hour or
two in aqua regia, a mixture of nitric
and hydrochloric acids, into which an
electric current is turned. When the
electric power and the strength of the
acids are fixed in the proper relation
to the weight of coins treated, it is be-
surface Of the coins so smoothly that
they are not changed in appearance.
Valuable quantities Of the precious
metals have been obtained criminally,
it is suspected, through the stripping
of many coins. The detached metal
clings to a receiving plate, from which
it is readily collected by the shippers,
who have no difficulty in selling it for
cash to jewelers., or even to the gov
eminent, since there is no suspicion
Of the method by which it was obtain
ed. The coins are passed into circula-
ton at their face value. Coins also
have been stripped, it Is suspected, by
using them for short intervals in cleo
troplating tanks, in which case the
metal is deposited at once on the OBJ
ject to be plated.
Many coins that have been offered for
deposit at banks recently have the de-
signs brought out more sharply than Is
natural. 1t is supposed that these coins
have been stripped and were left in the
acid bath too long. But even in these
coins the unframed eye would sec no
