1901 Lesher or Referendum Dollar. Imprint Type. HK-791, Zerbe-5. Rarity-6. Silver. No. 1028. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.32 mm, octagonal. What can we say? When it rains, it pours! After not having offered an example of this elusive HK number in many years, we are fortunate to present two high grade pieces in this sale for the consideration of advanced so-called dollar enthusiasts. The specimen offered here, stamped with the number 1028 at the lower obverse border, is a richly original piece toned in blended steel-gray, deep olive and cobalt blue. Ample luster remains, the surfaces sharply defined throughout the design with a pleasingly smooth appearance in hand. Difficult to improve upon at the assigned grade level, and worthy of the strongest bids.
