   In QUARTERLY XIV., p. 162, an account was given of a large copper
coin presented to Mr. C. H. Blackwell, cashier of the First National
Bank of Raton, New Mexico.  There has been recently deposited in the
Library, by Professor William C. Stubbs, for the owner -- Dr. George
H. Tichenor, of New Orleans -- a copper coin found at Waco, Texas, of

stead of three inches in diameter and weighing five ounces, it is two
inches in diameter and weighs three and one-half ounces.  There are
also differences in the lettering.  On the obverse of

the coin, the central figure is the head of a unicorn, instead of
an Indian.  The inscription on the reverse is also somewhat different.
