NOTE.—The “standard” of a given country is indicated as follows, namely: _Double_, where its standard silver coins are unlimited legal tender, the same as its gold coins; _S. gold_ or _S. silver_, as its standard coins of one or the other metal are unlimited legal tender. The par of exchange of the monetary unit of a country with a single gold, or a double, standard is fixed at the value of the gold unit as compared with the United States gold unit. In the case of a country with a single silver standard, the par of exchange is computed at the mean price of silver in the London market for a period commencing October 1 and ending December 26, 1886, as per daily cable dispatches to the Bureau of the Mint.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 1, 1887.

VALUES OF FOREIGN COINS.

In accordance with the provisions of section 3564 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, the value of the standard coins of the various nations of the world were estimated by the Mint Bureau and proclaimed by the Department on January 1, 1887.

These estimates, to be followed at the custom-houses of the United States on and after January 1, 1887, in determining the values of invoices expressed in terms of foreign units of account, are shown in the following table (see opposite page):

The average price of silver in London for the period embraced between October 1 and December 26, 1886, was 45.862 pence per ounce, British standard, equivalent at the par of exchange to $1.00535 per ounce fine.

The corresponding value of silver for the three months ending December 24, 1885, was $1.038141 per ounce fine, a decline of $0.03279, a little over three cents a fine ounce.

The depression in the price of silver occasioned a change in the estimated values given the following coins:

The monetary unit of Egypt has been nominally changed from the piaster to the pound containing one hundred piasters.

The monetary unit of Ecuador also has been nominally changed from the peso to the sucre, but with no change as to weight or fineness.

In regard to Japan, in the table for 1887 the values of the gold and silver yen were estimated separately, for the reason that while by law the standard of Japan is gold, silver is practically the standard of value, and invoices of merchandise from Japan are generally in terms of the silver yen.

U. S. Mint Test for Gold and Silver.

The following is a test for determining whether coin is good or bad. Use the liquids as near the edge of suspected coin as possible, as that is the part most worn. A drop of the preparation will have no effect on genuine coin, while it can be plainly seen on the counterfeit. Coins should be scraped slightly before using:

TEST FOR GOLD.

Strong Nitric Acid (36°), 39 parts. Muriatic Acid, 1 part. Water, 20 parts.

TEST FOR SILVER.

24 grains Nitre of Silver. 30 drops Nitric Acid. 1 ounce Water.

The above tests should be taken in conjunction with _Diameter_, _Thickness_, and _Weight_, the tests used at the Mint.

GLOSSARY.

_Terms used in treating of Bullion, Mints, Coinage, and Money._

ASSAYING.—Chemical analysis of metals or ores. This term is employed in reference to mints and coinage, refers particularly to the process for determining the component parts and relative proportions of a mixed alloy of gold and silver, or the various alloys used for the manufacture of minor coins.

REFINING.—Extract of base from precious metals; usually performed by the aid of heat and oxidizing fluxes.

## PARTING.—The separation of gold and silver when the two metals

compose an alloy, either native or artificial, for the purpose of obtaining the metals, respectively, in the form of fine bars. This is accomplished, first, by dissolving the silver with acids and subsequently precipitating; or, second, by converting silver into chloride by heat and chlorine gas, and then reducing the chloride to a metallic state.

ALLOYING.—Compounding two or more metals together in suitable or legal proportions for coinage. Gold and silver are alloyed with copper for standard coins, and alloys are variously made of nickel and copper, or of copper, tin, and zinc for minor coins.

FINE BARS.—Gold and silver bars resulting from the operations of parting and refining. Bars containing 99 per cent. of pure metal are generally considered as fine bars.

UNPARTED BULLION.—Gold containing silver or silver containing gold which has not been subjected to the parting operation.

AMALGAM.—Gold and silver extracted from ores or other substances by the use of mercury and left in a porous or spongy condition, when the mercury is removed by distillation.

FINENESS.—A term indicating the proportion of pure metal contained in a piece of gold or silver. Fineness is expressed in thousandths; that is, pure metal is 1000. United States coin is ⁹⁰⁰⁄₁₀₀₀ fine, or decimally .900 fine. Fineness is estimated by jewelers and workers in the precious metals by “carats,” pure metal being 24 carats. Thus 22 carats, the British standard for gold coins, is ²²⁄₂₄, or decimally, 916⅔ fine.

DEPOSIT—MELTING.—The operation of melting a deposit of gold or silver at the Mint to secure a homogeneity of metals, preliminary to taking a sample for assaying.

REMEDY OF THE MINT.—The legal variation allowed from the fineness and weight prescribed by law for the coins.

TRIAL OF THE PYX.—The annual test made by special commissioners of the fineness and weight of coins reserved from each delivery of coin by the coiner to the superintendent. These coins are known as Pyx coins, because kept in a pyx or chest.

REFRACTORY BULLION.—Gold or silver bullion which contains a small percentage of lead, tin, or antimony, and which is therefore too hard or brittle to roll, cut, or stamp with facility.

WASTAGE.—The amount of gold and silver lost in the processes which these metals undergo preparatory to striking the coins. This “wastage” by law must not exceed a certain percentage of the gross amount of metals worked.

SWEEPINGS.—The ashes, fluxes, crucibles, sweepings, and all other refuse materials from rooms in which the metals are worked, containing a small amount of gold and silver.

STANDARD.—The weight and fineness fixed by law for the coins; hence the term “standard weight” or “standard fineness.”

BASE BULLION.—Gold or silver bullion not fit for coinage purposes, by reason of the presence of base metals, until refined.

MINT MARK.—The letter or mark on the coin, designating the mint at which it was struck; as “S” for San Francisco, “C C” for Carson City, “O” for New Orleans.[30]

MONEY OF ACCOUNT.—The ideal unit, or money term, in which accounts are stated or transactions made, as the _pound sterling_ of Great Britain, the _dollar_ of the United States, the _franc_ of France, and the _reichsmark_ of the German Empire.

COINS OF STANDARD VALUE.—In modern times a government first establishes a money of account or ideal unit, and then fixes by law the quantity of gold or silver which shall, in the form of a coin with unlimited legal-tender power, represent that ideal unit. Such coins, with their multiples and divisions, are termed “coins of standard value” or “standard coins.”

SUBSIDIARY COINS.—In the United States silver coins of less denomination than the dollar, which have a nominal value exceeding their intrinsic or bullion value, and limited as legal tender to sums not exceeding five dollars.

MINOR COINS.—Coins of small denominations used for change, and struck from other metals than gold or silver.

MINT PRICES OF GOLD AND SILVER (COINING VALUE).—The rate per standard ounce at which the mint converts bullion into legal-tender coins. The coining rate of an ounce of standard gold bullion, _i. e._, bullion ⁹⁰⁰⁄₁₀₀₀ fine in the United States is $18,604+. The coining rate of the silver dollar of 412½ grains, discontinued by law April 1, 1873, was $1.16⁴⁄₁₁ per standard ounce.

THE BASIS OF THE MONEY SYSTEM of all civilized nations is gold or silver, or both, in a ratio fixed by law. The relative valuation of the two metals in the coins of nations using the double standard, is about one of gold to _fifteen and a half of silver_.

_Regulations._

1. The price of Medals, Proof Coins, Pattern Pieces, &c., shall be fixed by the Superintendent of the Mint, with the approval of the Director.

2. No Coin or Pattern Piece shall be struck after the year of its date, nor in any other metal or alloy than that in which the Coin was issued or intended to be issued, except experimental pieces in Copper or other soft metal to prove the dies, under the direction of the Superintendent. The dies shall be defaced at the end of each year, and such impressions as the Engraver may find necessary to take while preparing the dies shall be destroyed in the presence of the Superintendent when the dies are finished.

3. When a Pattern Piece is adopted and used in the regular coinage in the same year it shall then be issued as a proof, at a price near its current value; or if it comes out early in the year, it will be placed in the regular Proof Set. The Superintendent will furnish, without charge, on application therefor, a Pattern Piece to any incorporated Numismatic Society in the United States. In such cases, if the pattern is in Gold or Silver, the value of the metal will be required.

4. The price of the regular Proof Set of Gold Coins will be Forty-three Dollars; the Proof Set of Silver and Minor Coins, Three Dollars. Single Gold Pieces, in proof, are sold at Twenty-five Cents each above their intrinsic value. Silver Sets are not separated. Proof sets are furnished of the current year only. The Mint has no Coins or Sets of back dates for sale.

PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON.

The frontispiece in the bound volume of this book, is an exact reproduction, by the Gutekunst phototype process, of the obverse of the Washington medal executed by Charles C. Wright, about the year 1850, and particularly described on page 34 of the “Medallic Portraits of Washington,” by W. S. Baker, lately published (the price of which is five dollars). The bust was modeled by Wright, after the original by the celebrated French sculptor, Jean Antoine Houdon, executed from a cast taken from the face of Washington at Mount Vernon, in October, 1785, and is considered by good judges to be the best medallic portrait of Washington yet produced. An impression of the medal is in the Washington Cabinet of the Mint; the reverse presents an excellent copy of Trumbull’s well known picture of the Declaration of Independence.
