TABLE OF U. S. COINS, WITH THEIR WEIGHT AND VALUE.'

The present legal value of all United States coins, when of full weight, is the same as the nominal value, excepting that of the gold coins minted before July 31, 1834, which is put at 94 8-10 cents per pennyweight. There are, however, none of the latter now in circulation. "Stat.," in the last colunin, means Statutes at Large;" and the initials "H. D.," refer to "Heyl's Digest."

The intrinsic value of the gold coins authorized by the Act of 1873, differs slightly from those of prior issue, after July 31, 1834, en account of the diminished proportion of silver in the alloy. But see Treas. Reg. post p. 3. Reissue provided for by Act of Feb. 28, 1878.

The Act of 1873 fixes the weight of the Half Dollar at 12 grammes, and the Quarter Dollar and Dime at 1⁄2 and 1-5 thereof. The reduction of the weight of these coins to grains, is made in accordance with the Act of July 28, 1866, ch. 301.
