UEATIMG COIN
Gold Pieces
A Their PreCiOUS Metal.

Nowadays Chemical 'Baths, Splitting

Older and Cruder Plugging Brand-;

, A drilled- or plugged" coin ha be
come something of a curiosity. Every
one remembers the. inconvenience of
these mutilated coins.' It was a mat
ter of : daily occurrence to find one
self in possession of a silver, gold or
even. nickel coin defaced. lu this j way
Sometimes the -bole was filled with
some baser metal: often it was left
open. ' This system of mutilating coins
had the -advantage, however, of being
perfectly obvious, and no careful per
son need be deceived. .
Nowadays the work of defacing coins
is reduced to a fine art. The old, crude
method of plugging the coins will not
suffice, since the general public and
the-government are far more Intoler
ant of the practice than ever before.
If the precious metal is to be robbed
from the coins it must be done so
cleverly that even the expert will b
deceived. It no longer pays to muti
late nickel or even silver coins, so. ex
cept in exceptional cases, it is only
the gold coins which are mutilated.
This practice, commonly known as
sweating requires considerable skill.
and the 'ingenuity displayed is often
amazing.
The "sweating" must be done In
such a way that the coin will appear
perfect, even to the closest observer
The federal government will not per
mit any gold coin to circulate the
weight of which Is below the point of
legal tolerance, which is fixed aT one
half of 1 per cent. If a coin Is found
to be lighter than this it Is stamped
with a large L. to indicate its light
ness, and is returned to the bank or
the individual who fast handled It.
The only redress of the owner is to
have the coins sent to Washington to
be reminted. The owner must stand
the loss in weight, which is often con-
siderable.
In cases where the coin
has been "sweated" an Investigation
may fpllow. with criminal prosecution.

One of the' most Insidious methods of
-swear.iiy ana peroaps lue mosm.iu-
cuji oi ui! ro aereci is ine eieiiro uai-
ins metuou. i ne uoiu coins are piaeeti
in a chemical bath. and pan oibe
gold is detached by electricity and de
posited ou some other object. In th:s
way the gold is removed with perfect
evenness from all parts of the coin
The. letters and general design or the
milling may be slightly dulled In the
process, but only as it mlKht be from
general wear and tear. The lightness
of the coin will be detected by the
cpoIpq nt rh trpflsnrv hilt In tho m;in-
I ' " j " ' w
time such a coin mav nass from hand
I " "
to hand for a long time without arous-
ing suspicion, it is obviously exceed
1 ingly difficult to trac the offender.
Another baffling method Is .to split
toe coin and remove -the gold from
the inner surface. . The hole Is then
filled up with some baser metal. si
that the weight will be the sime. and
the two sides are then" welded together.
It is possible to take a dollar's "worth of
gold or more in this way from a twenty
dollar gold piece. If the work be skill
foil done it Is Impossible to detect
8Uch a coin, by Its weight, and the only
cie wlJI De ia 80 me naw.ia iue uiui-
ing. Naturally it takes a trained, ex
perienced eye to pick out such a, coin.
Meanwhile the gold piece has prob
ably circulated for days or even
months, and it is exceedingly difficult
to trace the offender.
One of the commonest methods of
gold coins In a chamois bag and pre
serve the dust and microscopical parti
cles which have been loosened. The
bag is first moistened, so that the gold
will adhere f to it, and is afterward
burned and the gold assayed. The
bruises or dfents on the coins will ap
pear to have been made In the prdl-nary-handling.
The profit from this
reatment Is small, but many people
seem to find profit in it. The question
: ee
expended would not bring a larger re
turn if devotea to some legitimate
work. ,':' .
The men, who handle the gold be
come marvelously expert In detecting.
the "sweated coins. In handling mll-
lionsJof ndollars worth of gold, a de
faced coin will rarely get past them.
The coins -are spread -out In trays be

light ' coins picked out, A slight fla w

As" a final test the scales,: which will

and if the slightest discrepancy can
be found every-coin Is examined sepa

Ralph Waldo Emerson's Stove.
RalpluWaldo Emerson was a nfan of
rare Integrity and- very particular
about small things. One day a new
cooking; stove had been provided for
his house, - and. although the store
came very, b'Shly recommended, it
proved thoroughry unsatisfactory and
most provoking, as It did everything
but what it was expected to do. Aftt-r
awhile the family was In despair, and
some one suggested 'sending it to
auction.
Whatr exclaimed Emerson. "Trans
fer our own perplexity to another
pair of shoulders? No, never, unless
the stove is labeled 'Imperfect
And so -Imperfect" It was labeled
and sold at a great discount
