The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

Wednesday last was committed to our Goal, for passing counterfeit Dollars, a certain John Juheart, born on Staten-Island, a Blacksmith by Trade. The Quantity found upon him was 10 in number, 9 of which were dated 1763, and one in 1761: They are struck with a Die, the Edges milled, and appear of a dirty white Colour, tinged with yellow: they are very little lighter than the true One, the Impression not so high or broad, the two Globes between the Pillars appear sunk, and the Edge of an unequal Thickness, the Milling of which in one Place is not joined: They ring well, and are supposed to be a Compound of Copper and Tin, lightly silvered over, which may be easily scraped off.
