Poar Thonaand Collectors In the
laited State*—Certain Letters
aad Mintage Bring Good Prices—
Ancient Greek and Romaa Coiaa
Sought by European*.
Any number of colna that could
have been picked up for a amail sum
a short time ago now bring aum« up
to 976 and 1100. said a dealer In ths
St. Louis Republic.
"This to due to the tremendoua re
vival of Interest that has taken place
In coin collecting. There sre now in
this country more than 4,000 collec
tors who systematically buy old
oolna and are always In aearch of
new specimens.
"They make tripe to Europe and
other countries In quest of desired
raretles. Some of them niske trips
of this charactsr every year for no
other purpose thau to ransack ths
shops of dealers In odds and -nds on
ths othsr side of the ocean in ths
hope of finding a treaaure. which, aa
a matter of fact, they very often do.
"Most American collectors go in
for colna of United Statea issue. Not
much Interest is taken here In for
eign and In the ancient Qreek and
Roman coina, although they are the
rage abroad.
"A good many collectors make a
specialty of gathering Colonial coins
and the prlvats gold Issue* of North
Carolina. California and Georgia,
but the large old copper cent lends
them all In point of interest. Still
other collectors go in for die vti-
rletles and mint marks. Thai small
latter on a coin which shows the
place of Ita mintage makes all tha
difference In the world to a collector
and also In the price.
"For Instance, a 20 cent piece of
1875 of the Philadelphia mint la
worth Just 16 cents, and yet u coin
of the aatne demonlnation of INT7 or
1878, bearing the two tiny letters,
'C. C.,' for Carson City, will bring
between $lO and SIR.
"The dime of 1891 Is another ex
ample. The one made In Sun Fran
cisco. with the letter 'S,' la worth
anywhere from 86 to $lO, win-reus
thoae made In other-mints lire worth
Juat their face value or a trltin over.
There were only twenty-four of the
fbrmer 10 eent piece* minted.
"Would you believe a dollar of
1»04 waa worth liVf.OT It Is. Just
the eame and that sum was imid nt
• recent auction sale.
"Yet etich la the inconsistency of
coin collecting that a dollar of 1798,
in good cbndltlon, can Ite lie bought
for 11.60. The reason for this Is that
all 1004 dollars were struck in proof
seta, and were quite limited. Proof
rolna are made by burnishing the
sheet of metal before the coin* me
stamped, tad they come forth wlih a
high polish. The low figure of the
1708 dollar la due to the enormous
number preserved in good condition.
"Many of the coins minted since
1860 bring premiums that greatly
exceed thoae for coins Issued during
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
tury and the beginning of the nine
teenth century.
▲ gold dollar of 1K75 In proof
condition will bring 75. The $3
gold piece of 1873 la worth SSO. All
$8 gold pieces, In facf, with the ex
ception of thoae minted at the Phila
delphia mint In 1855 and 1 874, are
worth premluma ranging tip to $75.
"The $4 gold piece of 187'J and
1880 la rated at SSO. The flying
eagle cent of 1866 brings sls, and
la hard to get at that f ice.
"Die varieties mean more than
one would autipose. Of the 1794
cents alone there are fifty-lire die
varieties, each one of which Is held
at a high premium, and of all the big
copper centa there are 8)7 die va
rieties known at the present time.
"The majority of the collectors of
gold coins conflne themselves to de
nominations uuder $5
"Just take the Brant -r doubloon
This was a gold piece Issued Iri >'e*
York City In 1R37. On the reverse It
hears the motto 'l'niira B Plurlbus,'
and an eagle with sinend WIIIKS.

"TbU coin wai itruck froiu the

which tbs maker had uubrullted to
the authorities for aiM'roval, but It
waa rajocted The coin U now worth
mora than >6un, and IS aaldemi of
fered for sale.
"Bat there Is ons lu ' h«
United States Issue whlcri Is beyond
the reach of all collectors, no matter
how wealthy. This coin Is above
price. It la the first twenty-dollar
gold piece minted by thla govern
ment, In 114#. '
"The piece was submitted for ap
proval, but before action was taken
the new year came, so that the dies
had to be destroyed and new ones
made for 1850. This coin, tha only
of Its kind, now rests in the coin cab
inet at the Philadelphia mint.
"After all, the real factor In the
value of a coin of rare date Is Its
condition. On this depends whether
It Is worth |6 or S3OO.

Fueling la Rural Dtotricta.
The Bureau of the Census recently
publshed a bullous discussing atalla
tlcs of Illiteracy.
According to the census uae of the
term, an lllltemte to a person not
under 10 years of sge who la nanble
to write either la KngUsh or la any
other language. la moat caaea the
Illiterate la also unable to read.
At the cenaus of 1000 the number
of lillterataa enumerated In the Uni
ted Statea, exclusive or Alaaka,
Hawaii and ail other outlying terri
tory, was •. 180,069. This waa ap
proximately one-tenth of the popu
lation at leant 10 yenrs of age. the
exact uiathemnth al | rmnrtion being
106 6 Illiterates to l.uuO population.
Therefore the .patriotic American
will naturally Inquire whether this la
not utaluly due to the preaeuce In
our population of the foreign born
and the negro, and will be somewhat
reasaured to Snd thnt when the com
parison Is restricted to the nntlve
white population the proportion of
Illiteracy is reduced to 4(.4. per
1,000, or lees than one in ssrenty.
For the foreign born white the pro
portion la 128.5 per 1,000 and for
the negro 4 44.7. Moreover, Inter
natlonai eomparlsona, reatrlcted so
far as possible to corresponding
clasaes of the population, are on the
whole favorable to this country. In
dicating that In most European
countries illiteracy Is much mors
prevalent than It Is here, although
the Tnlled Stales Is still far-behind
Germany, Sweden and Norway, Dsn
mark and Swlterland Thsre to alao
ground for sstlsfsctlon snd encour
agement in the statistical evtdeuce
that Illiteracy Is being steadily re
duced. In 1890 the number of Illit
erates per 1,009 waa 111.4 for ths
total population. 62 3 for the for
eign-horn white and M 7.( for ne
groes. Including Indians and Mon
golians.
Attention Is railed to the fact that
among native white malea of native
parentage the degree of Illiteracy In
the age group of 46 to 64 la excep
tionally high not only, aa might be
expected, higher than In any young
er age group, hut higher also than
In the next older age (roup, 66 to
64. Since those persons who were
between 4D and 54 In 1900 were be
tween 6 and 14 when the Civil War
began. It Is evident that Illiteracy
prevailed during that conflict, when
the Interests of popular education In
the South were no doubt seriously
neglected. Kven In some parts of the
North there are evldencea of an In
creased Illiteracy among the children
of that period Thua the record of
Important historical evente may be
traced In the dry statistics of Illiter
acy. The State In which there la the

portion of negroes or of the foreign
born whites In their population. All
States show prograsa between 18*0
and 1900, hut the progress waa nat
urally greater In some States than In
other*, resulting In some striking
changes of rank It Is notable that
the States making the greatest gains
In rank betweeu 1890 and 1900 are
some of the newer Statea west of the
Mississippi, while those undergoing
the greatest losses of rank are
Northern States east of the Missis

11> thls„matter of Illiteracy auioug
children the cities make a much bet
ter showing than the rural district*.
The line between city and country
canuot. however, be very accurately
drawn, because cities with leu than
26.0(i0- Inhabitants are uot, fur the
purposes of this study, separable
from the distinctively rural areaa.
Accordingly the area which, for con
venience, Is designated as country In
cludes many of these smaller cities.
In the country as thus defined the Il
literacy among children la 88.7; In
the city, using tils term to designate
collectively rlt lee of over 26.000 In
habitants It Is only 10.4.
The greater Illiteracy In the coun
try does not necessarily Indicate that
the regard for education la less than
in the city. One cause of the differ
ence Is the difficulty of providing
school facllltlea for a scattered coun
try population. Another circum
stance also operating to the disad
vantage of the country population la
their smaller per capita wealth,
which necessitates a smaller per cap
ita local 'appropriation for sebool
purposes. Heallxlug that a certain
• mount of public Instruction Is In
dispensable for the general good of
the Btate, I»glalatures la many
States have Imposed a State school
tax. This system, by which the
wealthier school districts are made
to assist the poorer, will naturally
tend to lessen the difference between
city and country In the matter of Il
literacy.
