MANY 1917 25.cent pieces have been
brought TO light about Barre which dit
fer slightly in their design from the
new quarter issued few years ago
bv the federal government. The type
Of coin. which has been attracting so
much attention lately is Of the style
Of the new quarter with few minor
changes For example. on the back OF
the quarter most commonly seen. below
the eagle. there are three stars. and
running alongside on each side Of the
coin are ten star-. FIVE on a side. On
the questionable coin the three stars
are omitted beneath the eagle and placed
on the side instead by crowding in sew
on stars on one side where there were
formerly five. and siN in place oi the
five on the o-~~er side. A few other dif-
fcrences are noted. one of which = the
variation " style in the printing on
III nited states ii America on the
top 81 the coin. Many people around
the CITY have come to believe that the
1917 quarter Is counterfeit. and have
been reluctant upon accepting them.
Roth coins ring true. and outside Of
the above mentioned differences, there
Is nothing to cause anyone TO doubt
the reuuineness of the money. Bankers
in the city know no reason why the
coin Is not acceptable. and some say
that IL i one of the first Of the new
quarters ever issued hv the govern
ment IN 1917. Sine that date the de-
sign has been altered The readiness
