A Barre merchant received for mer-
handise delivered few days ago half
lollar which has been assayed as brass
md he is wondering whether the per-
on who passed the funny money has
my of the same metallic ingredients in
lis makeup. 1t is possible that the GUS
omer who unloaded the bad half dollar
N the dealer did so in the knowledge
hat it would not stand the acid test,
mt inasmuch as the coin has a ring SIM
lar to that of the genuine half-dollar, !
he merchant is inclined to the belief
hat the man who handed him the coin
sas in ignorance that he was passing
counterfeit. Coins of lead are not a
arity, but some time has elapsed since
piece OF brass money was reported.
