Value of Old Coins.

At a sale of old coins at Philadelphia not long since, a centennial dollar of bronze, said to be the only one in existence, brought $90. An 1838 dollar, said to be the only one ever seen with a plain edge, brought $117.50. Silver half-dollars of 1801 and 1802, sold for $8.00 each. A dime of the same date brought $34, and a half-dime $16.20.
