Early in the year, a Congressman Kelley introduced a bill providing for the coinage of one, three, five and ten cent pieces from an alloy of nickel and copper, to be legal tender to the amount of one dollar in replacing the minor coins and fractional currency then in circulation. This is one of the Patterns (for a 3-cent piece) from that proposal. Choice and well preserved.
