Lot Description

1861 Clark, Gruber & Co. $10 Gold. K-7. Rarity-4. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Deep honey gold with bold orange highlights, especially at the rims. Modestly circulated but devoid of annoying marks, and with strong design motifs present for the grade. Styled after the federal eagles of the era with 13 stars around Liberty's portrait and the date below; her tiara reads PIKES PEAK. Moderately scarce, this particular issue allows for most interested collectors to enjoy an example of Pike's Peak gold in their collection.
