The 1901 Lesher Dollar is a notable piece of American numismatic history, designed by the Western artist and engraver, J.W. Lesher. It was not an official U.S. mint product but rather a privately issued silver token used in the Colorado mining town of Cripple Creek. The coin features a unique design with the inscription "One Dollar" and was created in response to a shortage of small change following the Klondike Gold Rush. Lesher Dollars are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and distinctive attributes, making them a unique collectible within the realm of American coins.
