Statement of cents of former issue deposited at the United States mint, for exchange for cents of the new issue, to June 30, 1862. A statement of foreign gold and silver coins, prepared by the Director of the Mint, to accompany his annual report, in pursuance of the act of February 21, 1857. EXPLANATORY REMARKS. The first column embraces the names of the countries where the coins are issued; the second contains the names of coin, only the principal denominations being given. The other sizes are proportional; and when this is not the case the deviation is stated. The third column expresses the weight of a single piece in fractions of the troy ounce, carried to the thousandth, and in a few cases to the ten thousandth of an ounce. The method is preferable to expressing the weight in grains for commercial purposes, and corresponds better with the terms of the mint. It may be readily transferred to weight in grains by the following rule: Remove the decimal point; from one-half deduct four per cent. of that half, and the remainder will be grains. The fourth column expresses the fineness in thousandths, i. e. the number of parts of pure gold or silver in 1,000 parts of the coin. The fifth and sixth columns of the first table expresses the valuation of gold. In the fifth is shown the value as compared with the legal content or amount of fine gold in our coin. In the sixth is shown the value as paid at the mint after the uniform deduction of one-half of one per cent. The former is the value for any other purposes than recoinage, and especially for the purpose of comparison the latter is the value in exchange for our coins at the mint. For the silver there is no fixed legal valuation, the law providing for shifting the price according to the condition of demand and supply. The present price of standard silver is 122 cents per ounce, at which rate the values in the fifth column of the second table are calculated. In a few cases where the coins could not be procured the data are assumed from the legal rates, and so stated. |
