Colorado. Canon City-Florence. 1901 Engraved Type. H. Stein. Jos. Lesher’s Referendum Silver Souvenir Medal or Dollar. Zerbe-15, HK-1020. Rarity-10, Unique. AU-53 NGC. Serial No. 1050.

Dies as illustrated. The satiny silver-gray surfaces offer a whisper of champagne-gold throughout. Modestly circulated but free of marks that draw a viewer’s eye, and readily worthy of the assigned grade. One of four unique varieties in the Lesher medal series; the Henderson-Marchase Collection contains all but one of those four rarities. Medal hand-engraved in fancy script H. Stein. The present piece is the only example known with this imprint. The present piece may well represent a once-in-a-lifetime chance to obtain this great rarity, and only the most serious among you will ever have this unique Lesher in your cabinet – now is the time to decide.
NGC Census: 1; no others certified in any grade. This variety is the same as Zerbe #5 except engraved in script “H. Stein.”
Unfortunately H. Stein cannot be definitely identified; attempts to attribute this piece to various Henry Steins can be verified. This is the only “Stein” Lesher Dollar known, numbered 1050.
