Description:

Admirable AU 1860 Clark, Gruber Ten, K-3

1860 $10 Clark, Gruber & Co. Ten Dollar AU50 PCGS. K-3, R.5. The 1860 and 1861 Clark, Gruber ten dollar pieces are the largest of the firm's denominations usually seen, as the 1860 twenty dollar is extremely rare, with the 1861 making only an occasional appearance. During its short production of gold coins, the firm made nearly $600,000 worth before switching to the production of gold bars.
The 1860 Clark, Gruber tens are also quite elusive in AU or finer grades. Those coins deviated from the federal-style obverses of the quarter and half eagle, featuring instead a rather laughable attempt at depicting Pike's Peak as a triangular monolith with a few trees at its base. This admirable AU example displays generous luster remaining on yellow-gold surfaces that are free of major contact marks. Listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 8 in 50, 54 finer (5/10). (#10137)

We changed the way we image slabbed coins on February 1, 2010, in order to get a more accurate image of the coin. To get the sharper details and more accurate colors we have focused the lighting on the actual coin, which has caused the top of the holders to appear darker and milky. Please disregard the color of the holders when examining the images.
