But to answer Rabbits question further the first type (left medal) was used only in 1900 and was the initial lesher dollar. The next types (Bumstead first reverse and Bumstead second reverse) are different from the type one lesher most commonly called “type 1.” The next type or “bank type” was the medal that got Lesher in trouble with the federal treasury/ government. This coin said on the obverse that “a commodity will be given in merchandise at any bank,” and needless to say the FED was not happy with that. The reverse of the bank type lesher dollar is the same as the Bumstead second reverse. The two Bumsteads reverses differ only by small scrolls in the field. The fifth type is the very rare Trade Mark Applied For lesher Dollar, this is the medal that Lesher made to send to the US patent office, the patent was approved and the trade mark medal was returned. Only one of these medals was stuck, this medal is the highlight piece of the Lesher Collection. The sixth type Lesher Dollar is the Imprint type, which is the obverse and reverse for the remaining 16 varieties , with the exception that the obverse had merchants names punched. </font></font></p><p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">I hope this helped, it’s kind of confusing.
