Description
1860 Clark, Gruber Five Dollar, MS60
K-2, Attractive Reddish-Gold Surfaces
1860 $5 Clark, Gruber & Co. Five Dollar MS60 PCGS. K-2, R.4.
Coins were only struck by Clark, Gruber for two years, but the firm
left two indelible stamps on U.S. numismatics. First, the firm had
an impeccable reputation and set the standard for converting
Colorado gold rush gold into coined form. Second, the firm sold its
assaying operations and building to the United States government,
using it as an assay office, and finally in 1906 the Denver Mint
was built on the site. Predictably, high-grade Clark, Gruber gold
is a challenge to locate. This piece has the expected softness of
strike in the centers. The fields are lightly marked -- the notable
exception being the field above the eagle's head -- an area that
also is several shades deeper in color than the rest of the light
reddish-gold coin. Listed on page 398 of the 2016 Guide
