Is there a law covering the punish
ment of persons destroying United
States gold coins? J. p. N.
1t depends on what use you put the
destroyed coin to. Cases have been
known where jewelers. have purchased
gold coins in considerable amounts
and then melt the several coins down
to use the gold in their business. OF
course, If the sweating methods were
resorted to it would be against the
law to mutilate the coins. Sweating
a gold coin is to place a dozen or so
in chamois bag and then shake
them vigorously. They would chip in
the shaking and the dust would then
be taken from the bag. This would
reduce the weight of the coins, and
the crime would be to pass coins that
are below the required weight
