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.
