Lot 4258
1861 Clark, Gruber & Co. (Denver, Colorado) $20 Gold. VF-20. Nicer than the grade would imply, this coin is well struck and retains most of the fine definition from the dies with minor wear on the high points of the design elements. Toned with coppery red hues on the cheek of Liberty and on the reverse eagle, perhaps from many years of storage on a red felt pad for display or something similar. Clean surfaces and rims, with no problem circulation marks on Liberty's face, although we do note some bagmarks on her lower neck. A very nice coin for the territorial collector to win.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
No provenance known, but likely purchased in the early 1980's with the balance of these territorial pieces.
