American Coins and Coinage.
Concise lustory of our Mnnutnry Legislation Troni

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 ,

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

A NATIONAL MINT.
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

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

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

request , Into half-dimes , or "ill me , " as

currency , nnd they were distributed by the
general among his frlenda In this country

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

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

On January 18 , 1S37 , the French standard

nnd fallvcr coins. The wi'lght of Iho gold
coins remained unchanged , while that ot
the silver dollar was reduced to 412 D

MOTTOES AND FIGUUKS.
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. It was thcro
put "Unum R Plinlbuh. " Only five of these
pieces are known to be ovtant , and they
are vary valuable. When Kentucky was
admitted. In 1791 , copper coins were struck
with "C Plurlhui Unum. " They wcia
made In England. The act of 1792 creating
the mint did not prescribe this motto nor
was It ever legali/ed. It was placed on
gold eolns In 1790 , and on silver colnw In
179S. H was constantly used thereafter
until 1831 , when It was withdrawn from
the quarter-dollar , of new device. In 1S91
It wns dropped from gold coins to mark the
change In the standard fineness of the coin.
In 1837 It was diopped from the silver coins ,
marking the error of the revised mint
code. It was afterward restored in 1&73
and placed on the new trade silver dollar ,
The motto , "In God We Tiust , " was not
placed on Ameiican coins until 1864.
