The New Gold Coin.

Some of the new gold coin he Strayed into Rensselaer along with what was evidently a quite liberal shipment of the yellow metal. Me: chants report a greater amount of gold in circulation than for many The new ten dollar piece is by no means artistic. On one side is the American eagle, but he looks pretty scrawny and ill fed. On the reverse side of the coin is an Indian head, topped off with a feathered crown of the copper cent variety. Across the front of the Indian head is the word “Liberty” and the appropriateness of this motto as appliedto the abonginesofAmerica, with their present restrictions, is hard to ascertain. Thirteen stars are across the top of the coin and 43 stars are around the edge. The erstwhile “In God We Trtiet” motto has been left off by Roose ~velt direction, and the coin looks like it lacked something to make it complete. We have not heard of any onejreiusing one on account of its inartistic appearance, however, but it is probable the coin will not prove very popular in its present appearance.
