Then came stories of official protests at Washington; of esti- mates of how much the loss would be to the companies; how much | the inconvenience to the public. It appears, too, that by force of this | opposition the minting was stopped for a time. It was even reported | that a new coin would be undertaken. Officials hesitated to say, or | promise, when the buffalo nickel would be turned loose to the free- dom of the coungry.
