Territorial Gold
1860 $2 1/2 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle AU58 NGC. K-1, R.4. The Denver Mint opened as a U.S. Assay Office in 1863, having been authorized in 1862. Prior to that, the Clark, Gruber & Co. served the needs of miners in the Rocky Mountains during the Colorado Gold Rush, a worthy forerunner to establishment of the official Mint. Displaying the characteristic greenish-gold color of Colorado bullion, this near-Mint quarter eagle shows apricot-gold accents at the borders. The strike is weak on the central motifs but the peripheries are sharp. Small marks dot the surfaces, which retain luster and nice eye appeal. Census: 10 in 58 (1 in 58+), 18 finer (3/17).
