Territorial Gold
1860 $10 Clark, Gruber $10 Copper Die Trial, K-3, Low R.7, VF35 PCGS. The dies for this copper trial were engraved by a Philadelphia die sinker who had never seen Pikes Peak, resulting in a triangular mountain that looked nothing like the real landscape. The copper die trials are rare. This Choice VF example is evenly worn with medium chocolate-brown color. Under a loupe, several ancient, linear marks are visible horizontally across the mountain.
