W , Vr' Mcfluro Co. ) The carllrat Amcrloan coinage was exe cuted In 1612 , for th * "Virginia company at the Sommer Islands , now called Bermudas. The coin was of brass , nml bore on the ob verse the words "Somruor Islands" antl "n hogso on one slilc.-In memory of the abun dance of hoggcs which were found on their first landing. " On the rc\crso was a ship under sail firing a gun. In 1045 the as sembly of Virginia , owing to the "great wants and miseries which do daily happen unto It by the solo dependence upon to bacco , " protldetl for a copper coinage , but the law wns not carried Into effect. In 1C31 Massachusetts "used com as a legal tender at market prices , and In 1634 "mus- kotl btillclts of a full boare" passed current "for a farthing apleco" provided no man was "compelled to take above Xlltl att a tytne In them. " The earliest colonial coinage took place In Massachusetts In 1762 , when "a mlnt-hoHse" was established at Uoston , and coins of the value of threepence , sixpence and tuchciicnco were struck. These coins were to bu of the fineness of "new sterling English money , " and every shilling was "to weigh a 3 penny troy weight , and lesser pieces propoltlonably. " They were stamped on one side with N. U. , and on the other with Hid , Vld. Xlld , "according to the vjlue of cash pi Ice. " They were boon nfter In circulation , tut , owing to Ilic exctssUe plain , ness of their llnlsh , they were fount ! to be gicatty exposed to "washing and clipping. " To rcmed } this , tn the same year a new die was ordered that required that "hencctorth both shillings and smaller pieces shall ha\e a double ring on either side , with tliu In scription ( Massachusetts ) and a tiec in the center on the one side , and New Knsl'ind and the date of the jcar on the other sido. " Ill 166a 2-penny piece was added to the strlcs. These coins aie now knovn us "he "pinu tico shillings , " etc. The Massachu setts mint existed about thirty-foui years , but all the coins Issued bear only the dalis lGi- and IGR2 the same dies being Used probably throughout that peilod. In the reign of William and ilnty copper coins were struck In Ungland for New Unglaml and Carolina , having on the olnerse an elephant , and the reverse respectively , "Hod picstrvo New Ungland , 1691 , " and "God preserve Carolina and the lords proprietors. 1094" Soon after the settlement of Marj- land , In ! Ci4 , grain , tobacco and live stock were received in pajmcnt of t-N s under the nameof "country pay. " Tobacco bcitis the chief staple became the general medium of exchange , but It iiuver attained the pur chasing power It once had In Virginia , where an invoice of- girls , "handsome , and recommended for vlttuoua demeanor , " were purchased as wives by bachelors of the province at 100 pounds-jof tobacco apiece , and the demand was so brisk they soon rose to leO pounds , and the price of a wife was made recoverable ' before any other debt. As early as 1061 an act was passed by the assembly of Maryland "for the setting up ot a mint within tne province. " It Is probable , however , that the mint was never established in' the province , but shil lings , sixpences , fourpencca and greats of . stiver were made In England under the1 I direction of Lord Baltimore and sent to the j province , having oii the obverse a prollle I bust of Loid Baltimore , with the legend CooclliusDns Ttrrae-Mariae : etc. ; re verse. Lord Baltimoiie's , an escutcheon with family arms , value ot the piece , and the legend , Crescite. et ? Multlpllcamlnl. There were also copper ' lialft'fienhlc ? with the same obverse , and 'having on the reverse the legend , Deuariam ; Terrae-Maiiae , and In the center two banarets on a ducal cor onet. New Hampshire legislated for a cop per coinage in 1706 : but , as in the case of Virginia and Marjland , nothing more was done. STATE MINTS. From 1778 to 17i" the power of coinage was exercised not only by the confederation In congress , but also by several ot the In dividual states. In Vermont a mint was established by legislative authority In 17S5 tu the town of Kupert , and copper cents were Issued of the following description Obverse , a sun rising from behind hills , and plow in the foreground legend , Vennon- tensium Kea Publica , 178C ; reverse , a ra diated eye surrounded by thirteen stars , legend. Quarta Dcclma Stella. The cents of 17SS have on the obveise a head , with the legend , Vermon. Auctorl. Vermonten- sluin ; and on the reverse a woman with Ihe tellers Indo et Lib and date. A few half cents were also coined at the Ver mont mint. Connecticut followed the example - ample of Vermont , and in the same year , 1755 , authorised the establishment of a mint at New Haven. and copper coins were Issued weighing 6 pennyweights , and having on the obverse a head with the words Auclori. Connect. ; reverse , a female figure holding an olive branch , with the legend Inde et Lib. 17S5. The mint con tinued In operation three years. New Jer sey authorized a copper coinage In 17SO. The persons procuring the patent estab lished two mints , one at a place known as Solitude , about two miles west of Morris- town , * and the other at Elizabeth. The coins are described thus : Obverse , a horse's head with n plow beneath legend , Nova Caesarea , 17SC , etc. ; reverse , a shield le gend , C Plttrlbus Untlm. Massachusetts , In 1756 , directed the establishment of a mint and the following year the necessary works were ereclcd on Boston Neck and at Ded- ham. In 17SS cents and half cents were Issued , exhibiting on the obverse the Ameri can eagle with arrows In the right talon and an olive branch In the left , a shield on Its breast bearing the word "Cent" legend , "Massachusetts , 17SS" ; reverse , an Indian holding a bow and arrow legend , "Commonwealth" nnd a star. As early as January , 1782 , a plan for an American coinage was submitted to congress by Kobert Morris , thp head of the finance department , the authorship of which Is , however , claimed for Gouverneur Morris , AN ELEGANT QjET LUXURY.

Correspondence confidential. Blair In February following congress approved the establishment of n mint , but no further action was taken until 1785. when conRress adopted tlio plan of a national coinage pre sented by Thomas Jefferson , ami In 17S6 de cided upon the following names and char- aclers of the coins : An eagle , to contain 246 2631000 grains of flno Bold. Value $10 , and half easle In proportion , both to be stamped with the American eagle ; a dollar to contain .17561-100 grains of fine silver , a half dollar , double dime and dime In pro portion. The copper coins were a cent and a. half cent. As to the standard fineness It was enacted that "the slandard of nil silver coins of the United Slales shall be one thousand four hundred ami cighly-flvo parts fine , to ouc hundred nnd seventy-nine parts alloy. " The former to be of pure silver and the alloy pure copper. According to our present mode ot expressing Oneness by thou sandths this would give us about 892 4-10 one thousandths fine , or the same amount of fine silver as the dollar authorized by the act of 1S37. 1S37.COINAGE COINAGE RATIO. From 1777 to 1793 no less than five ratios at various times were otllclally recom mended or acted on by congress in iletei- mlnlng values of foreign coins. Morris , Jefferson and Hamilton differed among Ihcmselves Iho first named , 14.75 , the second end , 14.50 , and Ihc last , 15. The war of the standards continued until Ihe passage of Ihe act of 17S6 , when congress declared that the silver dollar , or unit , to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar , as the same Is now current. "for the purpose of ascertaining the amount ot pure sliver In the Spanish milled dollar , " to establish the unit of value , Jefferson , with the con- rurrenco of Washington , had a number of said coins melted and assayed. They showed the Spanish milled dollar to con tain 371Vi grains of pure silver , and the first dollar coined contained 371U grains of pure silver and fortj-four and three- fourths grains of alloy of copper , to make the vvclghl of the "dollar of our fathers" 416 grains The standard established by Ihe net of 17S6 wns gold nnd silver In the ratio of 1 to IS- ' and the unit ot n dollar continued at this ratio , with slight variations , until 1SOS , when It became 1 to 10.08. From that time until 1S73 , with the exception of 1S12 and 1S13 , when the latlo was 1 to 10.11 and 16.25 , 412V4 grains of silver , the weight of our standard dollar , did not fall below the value of a gold dollar. In fact , from 1S34 to 1S73 a silver dollar of this weight commanded a premium of fiom 2 tg as high as 5.22 per cent. In 1S73 the value of the coin was 100.40 , but In the succeeding year , 1874 , It fell to 98.86 , and has steadily declined from year to year , until at the present time Its metallic value as compared with gold Is about 32.50 , or from $1 010 In 1S73 to 491 in ! S9r , In 1797 the board of treasury by authority of congress contracted with James Jarvls for 300 torn of copper coin of the federal standard. These cents vveie coined at the New Haven mint , and are of the follow Ins description On one side thirteen circles linked together , a small circle In the center , with the words "United States" around It , within which were the words " \Ve are one ; " on the other side. In the center , was the figure ot a sun dial , with the sun above it , and "Fuglo. 17i > 7 , " on opposite sides. De- low the dial were the words "Mind your buhincss. " A few of these pieces are said to have been struck at the Rupert , Vt. , mint. This piece was coined by contiact , and was the only legal coinage of the United States copper coins until 171M , except the experimental pieces of three varieties coined In 1791 , and called Iho Washington cent. Various curious pieces were also brought out , among which mty be men tioned several v at idles and with different designs , in copper principally , Called Wash ington pennies and Washington pieces Contlnenlal currency , 1776 ; James , 1776 , cop per ; Massachusetts pine tree coppers. 1770 ; U.

The resolution of congiess of October 16 , 17S6 , dlreollng lhat Iho law of Kcbiuary , 1782 , should be carried Into clfei.it for es tablishing a mint , was not carrl-'d into execution owing to the dllllculty uxp-'rK'Mi.'ul In procuring die makers and COIIIUK presses from nngland. On the 3rd of ilarcn , 17 1. congress passed n resolution authori/.lnt ; the president to establish a mint ind o.i tln > lid of April , 1792 , It passed a code of laws for the establishment and regulatiu'i of tl > e mint : The coins were lo be of old , silver and copper , as provided for by the act of 1786. Washington selected David Itu- lenhouse , the astronomer , for the director , and Henry Volglit , watchmaker , as an as sistant of John ritch In the manufacture- of the machinery of his first steamer , was > n > ado chief coiner Tristan Dalton was treasurer , and In the following year Albion Cox was appointed chief ot assajuia. and Robert Scott engraver. The mint luilMini ; was Ectured In Ihe same tear , nn Ihe past side of Seventh street , above what Is now known as Filbert street. In the then capital of Iho counlry Philadelphia. This was tne first piece of property avvned by the United States In America. Three coinage presses , Imported from England , arrived In September , 1792. and ueiu put In operation about the 1st of October. Wash ington. In his message to congrtss , Novem ber 6 , 1792 , fcaid : "There has been a ? inall beginning In thu coinage of half-dimes , the want of small rolns in circulation calling the first attention to them. " Deforo congress passed the code nf laws for the regulation of tbo mint , artiiU were engaged In gelling up dlca. John Harpur , a saw maker of Philadelphia , tans , d dies lo be engiaved under the direction of Robert Illrch and from these illea mot of the Washington cents were probably atruck In his cellar from Ibo coining presais which were stored there. The coins ( if 1792 were struck In an old coach thop. The Idea of placing the effigy of a public man upon the coin of the country met the decided disap probation of Washington himself , and hu caused the dies to bo destroyed In 17S2 before the mint was ready to co Into opera tion General Washington dcpoMtrd 1100 tn silver bullion , which was coined , at his request , Into half-dimes , or "ill me , " as they wero. called nt that time. The e coins were not Intended for circulation as currency , nnd they were distributed by the general among his frlenda In this country nnd Etiropo. These "dlsmes" were struck In Mr , IShrper's cellar. When the mint was ready thcro xvas coined there. In 1792 , the dime and halt * dime , nnd the cent. The silver dollar nnd half-dollar were coined In 1794. and sold eagles and half-ragles In 1795. In 1793 , 1781 and 1795 the total amount of gold coined wns J71.4SS. In 1796 II was $102,727.60. The official records of the mint show that from 1773 to 1S03 , Inclusive , there were coined of silver dollars $1,439.517 nnd that no further coinage of silver dollars wns had Until 1S36 ; thnt In 1S36 $1.000 were coined ; that there wni no coinage of silver dollars lu 1S37 or In 1838 ; thnt In 1839 but 300 silver dollars were colnt-d , nnd thnt the lotal coinage of silver dollars until the unlimited coinage of the silver dollar was withdrawn In 1S73 , was something over $3.000,009. The total coinage of silver dollars from the organization of the I'ulted States mint In 1792 to 1SD1 , Inclusive , has been 430.157.- 978 , nnd the total silver coin age Including dollars for the same period $681.909,61915 : total gold coinage $1,732.- 652,323 , and nickel , copper nnd bronze coin age. $26,481,531 79. KMllLKMS ON COINS. Hy the act of 1792 It was ordered that the larger eolns should bear the figure of the head of Liberty on ono side , nnd the flEuro of an eagle the national emblem on the other. The selection of the engle as thn national emblem was at first dls tasteful to llenjamln Franklin , who ob jected to It because the eagle was a bird of bad character a thief , who stole the fruits of others' labor. lit- suggested that "the goose , n plain republican bird , should be selected. In the matter of the national coinage the whole family might be utilized the gander doing duty on the largest coins , the geese on those- llttlo smaller , and the goslings would do nicely for thu dimes and lialf-dlmes. " The Ilrst coin Issued by the now mint In 1793 was what Is now known as the link cent , having on one side a rcprcsentallon ot a female head with flowing locks , wllh the word "l.lberly" above , and the date , 1793 , below It. On the opposite side near the edge of the coin were the words "United States of America , " and In the center the words "one cent" were Inclosed In n chain of thirteen links. Alexander Hamilton was at that time secretary of the treasury , and the new coin met with some sharp criticisms. A Boston critic said- "Tho chain , on the reverse , is but n bad omen for llbertj , nnd l.lberly herself seems to be In a fight. May she not Justly cry out PRESERVE AROLIMA.AND THE loans s. 1.

In the language of the apostle , 'Alexander , the coppersmith , hath done me much harm ; the Lord reward him according to his works ? ' " No other coin was Issued from the mint in that year. In 1794 a dollar , half dollar and a half dime were coined. These vveie the first silver coins of the American series The first quarter dollar and the first dime were coined In 1796. The. weight of the cent and the half cent was changed January 14 , 1793 , from 261 grains and 132 grains to 208 and 106 grains. Tne devices on the coins were also somewhat changed. Hcforo the close of 1793 the cent was Issued with the liberty-cap on the pole over the shoiildei of Liberty. The same head appeared on the dollar near the close of 1793. and con tinued there until 1S04 , when the coinage of the dollar was discontinued. January 26 , 1706 , the weight of the copper coins was again reduced the cent to 16S grains , the half-cent In proportion. Up to 1816 the work of coinage at the mint was done by hand or horse-power , but In the latter year steam was Introduced to operate the presses GOLD CIRCULATION. On June 23 , 1834 , with a view to Increase the circulation of gold coin in this country and to discourage In some measure Ihc Issue of bank bills , Ihn weight of the gold coins was reduced the eagle to 253 grains , halves and quarters In proportion. Tlielr fineness was also chanced to S99-1000ths , the weight and fineness of the sliver coins remained unchanged the dollar being 41C grains , fineness S92.4 ; half dollar , weight 20S grains , fineness 892 4 ; quarter dollars 101 grains , anil fineness the same as the other coins. From his earnest speeches In favor of this change In the gold coinage of the country , and his advocacy of a metallic currency , Senator Ilcnton of Missouri ob tained the name of "Old Dulllon. " Notwith standing there was an increased icolnago ol silver , ' the public demand for a further Increase was so great that congress In this jenr (1S34) ( ) passed an act making the "dollar nf Mexico , Peru , Chill and Central America" of n given weight nnd certain 1111011081 a legal tender In payment of debts. Wo were not then n silver producing coun try us wo are now , and congress was niulous to cneourago the Importation ami uuo of silver of other countries The In- tioductinn of the small Spanish coins caused the reign of the Tips" and "Levies" of our eaily days. The lip lepreaented the one- -IMcenlh of a ilollnr , llio lnvy one-eighth of a dollar. On January 18 , 1S37 , the French standard &f fineness . .900was adopted for both gold nnd fallvcr coins. The wi'lght of Iho gold coins remained unchanged , while that ot the silver dollar was reduced to 412 D Brains parts lu proportion. On Folnuary 12. 1873 , this coinage was discontinued , UK total nnibtint tolncd being $8.015,8:18. : The trade dollais wore authorized Feb- - _ , , . , finc-ue.ss .909 and "lint a legal tender.

The first United States coins contained an exact medallion of Mrs. Washington , the wife of General Washington. When the latter saw them he was displeased , and re quested the flguie to be removed. The artist altered the features n little , nnd putting a cap upon Its head , called It the Goddess ot Liberty. In 1794 the ( list silver coins con tained the head of l.lberly , with flowing hair and without the cap. This style was retained , with slight modifications , until about the jear 1SOS , when a more pleasing head of Liberty with hair dicssed and cap , was adopted. The device was taken from life , and wns considered a model lu good taste of the fashion of the time. The In scription of the word Liberty was at the time tiansfericd from the margin of the coin to the head of the cap. The first gold coins struck In 1793 were ornamented with a head of Liberty and cap head-dress , cor responding with the fashionable head-drcrg of that period. This continued until 1S07 , when the head-dress on the gold coins was made to conform to that on the silver. Upon the change of standard In 1831 the liberty cap of the goddess was removed from the head , and the hair confined by a baud In scribed with the word Liberty. The next change look place near Ihe end of Iho year 1833 , Ihe hair being looped up behind and entwined with braids , a couplp of stiay cuils hanging loosely upon the neck , and Ihe front of the head embellished with u tiara Inscribed "Liberty. " Since then the changes In the nrtlstlc devices have been few and unlmpot tnnt. The use of the motto C. Plurlbus Unum Is ascribed to Colonel Reed of Uxbrldge , Mass. It first appeared on a copper coin , struck nt Newburg , N. Y. , where theio was a private mint The pieces struck are dated 1780. In 1787 the motto appeared on scveial t > pcs of the New Jersey coppers , nlsn on a very curious doubloon , or sixteen- dollar piece , coined by a New York black smith named Rphram Ilrasher.
