Lesher Dollars are collectible coins that were issued in the early 20th century, specifically in 1901, by the prominent numismatist and inventor, D. S. Lesher. These coins were created as a form of private currency and were intended for use in trade within the Colorado mining community. The Lesher Dollars are notable for their unique design, which often featured motifs reflective of the local environment and economy, and they were made of silver. While not officially recognized as legal tender by the United States government, they are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage.
