STATE PAWNSHOPS. SOUP AT $35 A PLATE. RARE COPPER CENTS. Coin Collectors’ Th»ory to Account For Th»ir Scarcity. That some of the rarest and most valuable of the United States cents, particularly those dated 1709 aud IBM. ewe tbelr scarcity to the fact that Ful­ ton built the steamboat Clermont Is the theory held by some coin collectors. They believe that ....... sands of the old time large copper cents went toward making the copper boiler for the pio­ neer steamboat. This theory would explain the mys­ tery that lias long puzzled coin collect­ ors as to the reason for the almost to­ tal disappearance of the cents of the dates mentioned Tbe first cents struck at the United States mints at Philadelphia were of large size. Tbe copper blauks. or planchets, were Imported from Eng­ land. being sent over It: kegs. Copper at this period was a scarce article In this country. With tbe ex­ ception of the siua’I quantity pro­ duced at the only copper mines then known In tbe United States, those at Granby. Conn., nearly alt tbe metal used hire came from England. Bulldc s of steam engines in those days were of the opinion that boilers construeivd of iron «ere unsafe and ImpracrVnble. and as a consequence boilers were made of copper, all the boile’K that came from England being, It Is said, constructed of that metal. Fultm was likewise of the belief that copper was tbe only fit metal to be used in boilers. It Is therefore possible that, finding a scarcity of metal with which to con- stru< t the boiler of tbe Clermont, he fina’ly resorted to the most convenient source of supply, which happened to bo the large Uulted States copper cents. Of couiwe the cost of such a holler would represent a large sum. but It is on the records that the steam frigate Fulton, launched In 1815, the year of tbe Inventor’s death, had a ¡•viler entirely constructed of copper, dbicb alone cost tbe large sum of $23.- otn. That the supply of cents of this pe­ riod was large etrougb to meet such a demand Is also likely enough. From 1793 to and Including 1795 1,006.033 cenfk were coined and In 1796 974.000 wwx struck.
