That Is the worst of It for I don’t believe there Is one of the lot who comes In and brings coins who has not an exaggerated Idea of their worth, and they never go away, believing a word I have told them. They never do. They always leave with a feeling that for some reason or another I am trying to cheat them and don’t want to give them the full value

of the treasure they have.

"There are two coins that give me more trouble than any others and have caused more correspondence than probably all the rest put together. These are the quarters of 1653 and the nickels of 1883. People have got Into their heads that those

and 1822 are very valuable Gold coins wear quickly aad depreaUtc lr value so easily that they are more difficult to obtain. "Perhaps it fs this reason that the collection of gold coins seems ut Re e particular passion for the collector It fb quite aside from the Intrinsic value of the gold, the commercial in tereat does not enter Into the feellngoi the collector, though he will always make as good a bargain a* possible The coins of many collectors will show many Interesting pieces in gold and many col let tors have the gold dol - lar from the first one In 1549 to lh«
