I can never get excited about this "retro -modern" stuff. It is like the Gallery Mint copies. When I was a young collector it might have grabbed me, but now now.
I would like to buy one of the original Lesher coins, but since I have been looking I have mostly seen coins with problems that were sometimes not marked on the slabs, like filed rims.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

These can be ordered with any desired imprint (so long as it isn't already used by someone else, isn't a copyright violation, and isn't offensive or inappropriate).

There is also a bronze Colorado Wyoming Numismatic Association (CWNA) medal from the 1980s that has a Lesher-like design on one side and is octagonal in shape.
That's actually not half bad. I own a "real" Lesher dollar (Slusher #75, PCGS AU55). I think dcarr's history and location makes this a natural for him.

That looks like a fairly nice one. A couple small rim dings (many have that or worse, and/or other issues). I've only seen one with any kind of "cartwheel" luster. They generally seem to look cleaned and re-toned much of the time.
