b. A. B.-The reason for the SEEM
ing discrepancies in the regard to the
coin values is this: We sometimes
give the minimum and maximum
values, and then again, the maximum
| only is given. Some of these old
coins have no standard premium
prices, but are held at different values
by various collectors. We give re-
liable quotations, judged from a con-
census of the experts.
