AKA Lesher dollars

Silver, as in hundreds of coins minted in 1900-01, distributed mostly in Victor and said by some to be missing ever since. Coins, known as Lesher dollars, which could be worth hundreds of thousands to the lucky person who discovers the stash. And it may be as easy to find as looking in an old coffee can or shoe box.

Oh yeah, that's one of the Holy Grail items for us token hunters out here in Colorado. That, and a nice Clark and Gruber gold coin. "The stuff that dreams are made of"
