Lot 2636
1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. (Denver, Colorado) $5 Gold. NGC graded MS-63. Nice example. The otherwise greenish-gold color yields to warmer antique hues and has splendid light satin luster throughout including the curvature of Liberty's face and cheek. Very sharp stars, and most of the hair curls sharp as well (only a little softness seen at the hair near the ear). On the coronet, in place of LIBERTY, is CLARK & CO., the firm's shortened name. Clark, Gruber was a well-known private minting house in Denver, Colorado in the early 1860s and struck $2.50, $5, $10, and $20 denominations of several designs, this lovely $5 piece among the best preserved. NGC reports 4 at this level with 3 better by a point.
Estimated Value $17,000 - 19,000.
