DIAMOND DOLLARS OF 1804.
Only Four of the Original Coinage of
10,570 in Existence.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Kvey now and then one reads
about the dls-eovery of another of tho
famous 'Diamond Dollars' of l0t."
said a gentleman of this city, who
owns one of tho llnest private collec
lections of coins and medals in tho
south. "Tho dollars of that date aic
popularly supposed to be worth from
$l,50'i to J2.000 apiece, and if a few
originals could bo produced I daro
say they would bring that fiRure eas
ily enough. Dut It happens, unluckily,
that there aro only four on earth, and
they are locked up in the vaults of tha
treasury building at Washington, and
couldn't bo bought at any price. They
aro what aro known as tho 'test
pieces,' which are ulwuy.i laid asliu
whut.cver a new coin is struck, and the
rest of tho Issue Is at this moment
quietly reposing under sovcial miles
of deep blue sea. The true- "tory Is
rather interesting. In lbOl tho mint
nt Philadelphia Is known to have
turned out 19,570 tilver dollars. That
wtts tli' entire ifsuc, uairtiu, u' '-'"i
pieces I have just spoken of. and It
was never put Into circulation. T!.-
whole lot just us it came from tl.o
stamping presses, was dumped Into
an iron chest and put on board a mer.
chanttnan bound for China. It was
directed to the captnln of a United
States frigate then in Oriental waters,
nnd was Intended to bo used In paying
certain expenses connected with tho
service. The merchantman ran Into
a Chinese typhoon and went to the
bottom, whore to tho best of my infor
mation sho still remains, iron ch;st
and nil. and that Is tho reason your
Uncle Sam Is the only collector In tho
world who has a complete set of
American dollars. Kveiy other col
lection. Including my own, is F.hort onu
Issue, and tho gap never will bo filled
until the sea gives up its own."
"Do you mean to tell us. then."
said a listener to tho foregoing, "that
all the 'Diamond Dollars' now In pri
vate cabinets are counterfeits " "J'.y
no means." replied the colector. "I
own an 101 dollar myself, and then)
aro at leust three others, to my
knowledge, In the South. They were
Issued by tho government, and tin
perfectly good and legal coins, but
they are not original". They are what
aro known technically as restrlkes.
In tho early duys. when tho mints
J had u few coins left over from one

date by striking them with a special
year to another they would chaugo thn
die, an operation that can always bo
detected by an expert. Kor some rea
son or tithr, nobody knows just why,
tt few dollars of tho 11.00 ls-uo word
ivsiruek in IM14 una put in circulation.
It is piobable- that tho total number
was not over forty or llfty. and :i
good many have been lest. The one
in existence are worth SIM uplece, and
you may rest assured that till tho
'Diamond Dollars' not mere Imita
tions belong to this littlo lot of re
strikes, of 'course, sum! of them
have been sold to gieen collectors as
originals, and I was myself tho inno
cent cause ot such a transaction only
a few yeais ago. A friend of niluo
who lives In an adjoining state, aud
who owns a great many rare and
beautiful coins, telegraphed mo 0110
day asking whether $jo0 was too much
for .1 genuine 1S04 dollar. I took It
for granted that he knew tho facts
about tho iHSiie, and after puzzlltu;
over the nies.nigo for a conslderablu
time concluded that it was un obscuro
joke of some kind, and that I wai
slmplv too stupid lo Et'o the point.
Ho I wired back advising him to buy
a bushel at that ligure, and hn
promptly closed the deal. It turned
out uftcrward that the coin was a. re
strike, and my frlepd has never qulto
forgiven me. What deceived him was
the' fact that the piece was known
positively to have been locked up In
an old e.V-'st at Savannah since 1812.
That did away with tho counterfeit
theory, und the only thing ho was
doubtful about wuts tho price."
