Ron Guth

In 1901, Joseph Lesher issued Referendum Dollars, primarily as advertising media for various merchants.  Boyd Park was a jeweler in Denver, Colorado and his name was punched into the blank area at the base of the obverse of the so-called Imprint Dollars.  Each piece was serially numbered, presumably for tracking purposes in case they were sumbitted to Lesher for redemption.  Approximately sixty different Park pieces are known within a serial number range of 502 to 648, suggesting an original "mintage" of one hundred and fifty pieces.  Of the sixty known pieces, approximately fifteen are unnumbered.
