Union City, Tenn. June 13, 1885.
The circulation of a large number of silver dollars made in the thirties and forties created considerable comment in business circles here. They were in splendid condition and looked as if they were just from the mint. Upon investigation your correspondent found out that $850 was found a few days ago in a carriage house on the place of the late David Debow, four miles from town. The money was hid by Mr. Debow during the war, and he forgot the hiding place or some one changed it, and he was never able to recover the money. After his death a search was made by his son, with the above result. Five hundred and eighty dollars of the money was in gold.

This suggests about $270 was in seated Liberty dollars.
