Losbeschreibung

This is an appealing $10 gold piece produced by Clark, Gruber & Co, the most important private minting firm servicing the Colorado Gold Rush of the 1860s. Predominantly deep honey-gold in appearance, both sides reveal highlights of more vivid pinkish-rose iridescence as the coin rotates under a light. There is some bluntness in the central devices, but this piece is otherwise boldly defined in most areas, especially given that there is overall light wear from a short stint in active commerce. With no sizeable or otherwise individually mentionable marks, one would be hard pressed to find a more technically sound and aesthetically pleasing survivor of this classic territorial gold rarity at the certified AU-50 grade level.
