The half- dollars and quarters emenate from the same source. They are pure lead, easily distinguishable from the gen­ uine variety in that they are dull in color, and very noticeably lack the trhe ring of the mint-coined pieces Of such poor material is their com­ position that one man who was vic­ timized with two or three of the fifty-cent pieces found that when the spurious coin was placed on a hot stove it melted. The material does not seem much harder than solder. The dimes are somewhat different, and might deceive any but close oD- ■ servation. They are small coppers dipped in some material to repre­ sent silver.
