A fair number of these were struck in copper, much to the delight of today's collectors as the 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. "Mountain Twenty" struck in gold is a classic rarity that requires a formidable budget to purchase. Both sides exhibit richly original toning in copper-rose, the surfaces free of significant blemishes and uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade. Solid VF detail throughout, a handsome and inviting example of this classic Clark, Gruber & Co. design.
