Glass coins, like eagle feathers, come under scrutiny of the law
Government regulations for sales of antiques have always been confusing. Today it is illegal to sell anything made with eagle feathers, even if the item was made years before the Endangered Species Act passed. In 1892, the Central Glass Co. of Wheeling, W.Va., made a pattern of glass called Coin or U.S. Coin. Real coins were used to make molds for the glassware. Dimes, quarters, half-dollars and silver dollars were copied to decorate pieces of pattern glass. Full sets were made, including compotes, butter dishes, cake stands, bowls, celery dishes, goblets, sauce dishes, bread trays, syrup pitchers, pickle dishes, spooners, jugs and even lamps. Most pieces were made in clear glass, but a few were flashed with amber or red glass. The popular glass pattern was made for only eight months. Then the U.S. Treasury Department ruled that using the coins was a form of counterfeiting money, and the pattern was discontinued. But the idea was so saleable that a similar pattern using Spanish coins was soon made. Today, another version of coin glass is being made by Fostoria Glass Co., but the coins are not accurate copies of real coins. Pieces of the new glass sell for as little as $10.

Coins, mummies and statues point to Cleopatra tomb
Egypt’s top archaeologist made his version of a sales pitch today, presenting 22 coins, 10 mummies, an alabaster head and a fragment of a mask with a cleft chin as evidence that the discovery of the lost tomb of Mark Antony and Cleopatra is at hand. Zahi Hawass showed off the ancient treasures to journalists during a tour of a 2,000-year-old temple to the god Osiris where they were found. He believes the site near the Mediterranean Sea contains the tomb of the doomed lovers that has been shrouded in mystery for so long.
