Lot Description

A handsome, fully original example dressed in a bold blend of pewter and mauve-gray patina. Sharply struck throughout, the Slusher imprint is lightly doubled and also a bit uneven, the letters at right on both sides a bit soft, but all words fully legible. The number 143 is universally crisp, the digit 4 also lightly doubled. No marks or other significant blemishes distract from solid technical quality and strong eye appeal. Of the Imprint Type Lesher dollars distributed through merchants, the Slusher type is the most plentiful with a mintage of 260 pieces. This is a limited total in an absolute sense, of course, and the scarcity of this type is confirmed by the estimate of just 77 examples extant published on the <em>lesherdollars.com</em> website as of 2022.
