1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. $5. K-2. Rarity-4. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS).An exceptionally nice example for the assigned grade, both sides offer bold striking detail, lustrous satin to modestly semi-reflective surfaces, and vivid patina in reddish-rose (obverse) yellow-gold (reverse). The gold from which this $5 is struck was from nearby mines in the alluvial streams in and around the city of Denver, as well as from ravines and elsewhere in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains to the immediate west. The present coin displays the name CLARK & CO clearly, and has feather details much sharper than sometimes encountered on the eagle. A more affordable, yet still visually appealing example that is worthy of a close look prior to bidding.PCGS# 10136.From the Collection of Silas Stanley Roberts, 1888-1966.
