shown up" said +. l.. Strowbridge Of
Peoria, Ills.
do you know what the Sprinkle dol
lars were? No. Well, Josiah Sprinkle,
the man in question, lived in one of the
toughest sections of Lewis county, Ky.
Washington, the county seat of Mason,
was then thriving town. One day
Sprinkle, then an old man, appeared at
Washington with buckskin pouch full of
silver dollars of his own make.
"In every respect they appeared the
equal of the national coin. The weight
was more than at present, and the quality
and ring were all that could be asked for
He spent them freely, and everybody nc
copied them upon the assurance of Sprinkle
that they were all right except that they
were not made by the United States mint
Upon being asked where he got the silver,
he replied: oh, it don't matterl There
is plenty of it left. The inscriptions on
the coins were rudely outlined and in no
wise was an attempt made at initiating
the national coin. On one side of the coin
star The edges were smooth. The coins
were considerably larger and thicker than
the United States coin. Whenever Sprin-
kle came to town he spent the dollars Of
his own make.
AT one time he volunteered the infor-
nation that he had silver mine in the
west, but the old man refused to tell any
one where il was located. L inally the gov
eminent agents heard of the matter and
came on to investigate. Sprinkle was ar
rested and brought into court, but the dol
lars were proved To be pure silver, without
alloy, worth in fact, triile more than 81
each. After an exciting trial he was ao-
quilted. When the verdict was announced,
Sprinkle reached down in his pockets and
drew out bug of 30 Of the coins, and paid
his attorney in the presence of the aston
ishcd officials. Sprinkle was never after
ward bothered, and continued to make the
dollars until the time of his death. He died
suddenly, and carried the secret Of his sill
yer mine with him. This was In the early
thirties, and IL has been 20 years since a
Sprinkle dollar has been found. Wash
