HK-789 Bumstead Type
1900 Lesher or Referendum Dollar. Bumstead Type, Second Reverse. HK-789, Zerbe-3. Rarity-5. Silver. No. 726. AU-58 (PCGS).
A richly toned example of the second Lesher dollar type, both sides exhibit subtle lilac-blue and pale gold undertones to otherwise steel-olive surfaces. Boldly defined overall with wispy handling marks to both sides, few of which are singularly inconspicuous to the eye. 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.
Provenance: From the Norman G. Peters Collection.
