are worth face
only.

L. KENTON.--The coin and bank token do not command a premium.

P. B. EVANS.--The 10c. U. S. you mention is the 1861 issue if not
grilled. If grilled it is the 1868 issue. Your questions as to
values have been answered several times in this column. You can
get a late catalogue of any dealer at a small price.

M. N.--If in mint condition the dealers will buy, otherwise they
are worth face only.

ROBERT CRAIG.--Not worth more than face.

G. L. MURPHY.--Not generally collected in the U. S., hence no
value can be quoted.

A. MITTEL.--The coin is probably the William III. of England. The
stamp is the current 2c. postage-due.

A. BEE.--The unused U. S. and British North American Colonies
stamps issued before 1865 are all advancing in price rapidly. The
used stamps are also advancing, but slowly.

J. WOLFERT.--If the stamps you mention are in good condition I
would advise you to sell them by auction. Rarities bring a higher
price when all the big collectors compete for them. Common stamps,
on the other hand, do not bring catalogue price at auction.

W. J. HOLBECK.--The Mobile 5c. blue is quoted at $7.50. If on the
envelope do not take it off.

J. ADAMS.--The present $1 black U. S., it is said, will soon be
printed in another color. The 8c. with triangular ornaments is on
sale at many offices. No copies have yet been seen with the
white-framed triangular ornaments.

FRANK T.--Almost any dealer can supply you with a complete set of
the U. S. stamps (cancelled) showing die varieties between
1870-1882. It consists of the 1c., 3c., 6c., 7c., 10c., and 12c.,
and, counting shades, numbers about twenty stamps. Prices vary.

M. C. WRIGHT.--The best way is to go to responsible stamp-dealers,
look over their stock, and take no damaged stamps at any price,
however low.

ROUND TABLE.--I do not know to what "1894 penny" you refer. The
dimes have no premium.

S. T. DODD.--Yes. The present issue of U. S. will probably all be
printed on water-marked paper.

PHILATUS.

War-time Memories.

My grandmamma is an old lady, and lived in Atlanta, Ga., at the
time Sherman and his soldiers, on their famous march to the sea,
took possession of that city. She buried her plate and valuables
under the
