1900 Lesher $ HK-789, A.B. Bumstead T-2 MS (PCGS#19002)

August 2021 ANA U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1900 Lesher or Referendum Dollar. Bumstead Type, Second Reverse. HK-789, Zerbe-3. Rarity-5. Silver. No. 737. MS-60 (NGC). Brilliant satin surfaces are modestly semi-reflective in the fields. All of the design elements are sharply struck, the number 737 crisply entered into the lower obverse field. Issued by Joseph W. Lesher in November, 1900 at Victor, Colorado, the Lesher Referendum dollars, as they are commonly known, are highly collectable today, both by type as well as issuer. The obverse of these popular pieces features a well-designed mining scene in the Colorado mountains along with legends, while the reverse features more legends as well as the price of the "dollar," $1.25. The Type II reverse represented here features larger letters than found on the Type I pieces, and the flourishes on either side of the state seal have been removed, as has the line above COLO. The website lesherdollars.comestimates that only 151 pieces of 500 struck are extant for this variety. The present example is included in the Adna Wilde Lesher Census published at that site. Provenance: Ex Whiteley-Henderson-Marchase. The plate medal for the type in the second edition of the Hibler-Kappen reference on so-called dollars. Click here for certification details from NGC.
