Mr. Stanton savs the coin was first
brought to Randolph county f row the
Island of Nantuckett by his great
grandfather, Samuel Stanton, and it
has ever since been the custom that
the youngest son of the family inher
ited it. Thus the coin passed to his
grandfather, David Stanton; then to
George Stanton, his father; lastly to
himself, G. Elwood Stanton, and will,
in turn, pass to his youngest son. Mr.
Stanton does not know the nationality
of the coin, but says it has been con
sidered worth about twenty dollars.
It bears the following inscription:
"Josephus I. D. G. Port et Alg. Rex."
The Courier force got busy and tried
to recall the name of a country that
has ever had a king named Josephus;
and failing, one of the neighboring
lawyers was called Upon to know if
he could solve the nationality of the
ancient piece of money, .but he, too,
gave it up. The coin is as bright and
shining as if it had just come from
the mint.
