SOME RARE COINS.
Trench German, Du'cli, AjneriCac
EasleYVith tTjjhtTail Fea'thers..
Mr. JM Sifford, of Rimer, in
terested the Standard man on
Tuesday with some coins rather
rare.
One is a silver French coin of
five francs, bearing late of 1836.
It looks much like our silver dol
lar and is Worth about the same.
Another is a German coin of
1797, inscribed "Ein Thaler,"
"Fred William Koenig Von
Preussen."
Still another is a gold coin
seeming to bo worth nearly $10.
On one side is "Munt Van Hot
Keninggryk Nederlanden" and
on. the other side is "William
Konig der Ned G. II. V. L." We
take this to be a Dutch coin.
And yet another is a U. S. gold
coin of three dollars, Rearing
date 1859.
Singularly enough these coins
' are all well preserved. Oue is a
little worn while the others are
almost in perfect condition.
"While on coins, some time ago
Prof. J P Cook, was speaking of
a silver dollar that he said was
very rare. It is a United States
coin, dated 1878. Prof. Cook
tells the following historical nar
rative about this dollar:
i ij i
An expert was oraereuiomaitOj
the die, which he did. Before '!
one hundred pieces were coined
(probably not even thirty) it was j
discovered that the eagle had
elsrht tail feathers. This was
against explicit orders. So the
artist lost his job and the die was
ordered destroyed. These coins
got into circulation.
"When he had told tho story
Deputy Sheriff, Hoke Peck, went
away and very soon returned j
i
with one of these same coins. It
i
is doubtful whether there is an
other of the same coins in the
State. There is said to -be a nice
little premium on them which
will probably grow with the
years.
