17. Mutilated coins. Except as hereinafter provided muti lated coins are not accepted at their face value but at their bullion value. Silver coins are mutilated when so punched, clipped, chipped, or otherwise mutilated, as to be appreciably reduced in weight, or when so defaced as to be not readily and clearly identified as to genuineness and denomination.
Minor coins are mutilated when so defaced as not to be readily identified, or when so punched or clipped or other wise mutilated as to show a material loss of metal. Silver coins and minor coins which have merely been so altered as to render them available for use as coins o another de nomination will be received at face value, except that such minor coins must first be certified to by a coinage mint as being otherwise eligible for receipt at such value. A charge of 40 cents per thousand pieces or coins shall be made for such pieces or coins received by such mint for certification, with a minimum charge of $1.00 for each such deposit re ceived by it. The payments so received shall be covered into the Treasury as a miscellaneous receipt. Such coins as are not certified by such mint to be eligible for receipt at their face value, shall be accepted by such mint at their bullion value or returned to the depositor at his expense. Silver or minor coins that are bent or twisted out of shape, but show ing no appreciable or material loss of metal, respectively, are not regarded as mutilated, and will be received at face value.
Gold coins are accepted only as provided in the acts, orders, regulations and instructions relating to gold.
