HK-821: Obv.. Sterling / Investment / Co. Inc. / Reno / Nevada // Rev. 1933 / Silver / 430 Grains. Silver. 38mm. An agent of Pedley-Ryan & Co., Denver, CO, called at the office of the Sterling Co. and sold them 2,500 planchets to be stamped incuse with its name, city and state. Reverse dies of a Pedley-Ryan token, No. 825, were employed after a plan to use Nevada State Seal was abandoned. Purposes were publicity and stimulus to buying of silver.

Sterling's senior member and manager was away on business when order was placed. He returned about the time the tokens arrived from Denver, disapproved their use, and ordered them returned to Pedley-Ryan & Co., which melted them. A few had, in the meantime, been issued to friends and customers for $1 each.
