The pre-melting is chargeable to Importer.

The remainder amounting to

the seignorage : best in the present Case during free coinage the balance due to the Treasury from

$9960.190 to $7954.9, showing

a total loss of $2002.9 (which includes

sent to London) but this will be largely decreased by the Silver now in process of reclamation from the pots which already

reaches about 200 ounces,

about 0.1 per cent,

reducing the loss

Repeating the probable loss in the case of coining old into new dollars, the loss on pre-melting has at present averaged 2 per Mille, say probable future average 1/2 to 2 per Mille - Net loss in Converting Silver to Hongkong dollars - viz: Melting into bars also loss in Coining assaying &c has already been reclaimed

Calculating what has already been reclaimed from the old Pots &c has reduced the loss to about 5 per mille

In recoining Mexican dollars I think we shall be able to save the pre-melting expenses and I purpose trying
