1861 Clark, Gruber & Co $10 Gold ms61 SEGS. lark, Gruber & Co. was the most prominent private coiner in Colorado during the early 1860s, quickly developing a reputation for high integrity and competence, both as an assayer and coiner, and as a banking institution. The firm struck four denominations of gold coins in 1860 and 1861, including two and a half dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, and twenty dollars. The first examples of the ten and twenty dollar denominations featured an unrealistic, stylized depiction of Pike's Peak, while the lesser two denominations employed Liberty Head motifs similar to those of the federal coins of the same denominations. In 1861, all four denominations used the Liberty Head motif, which featured PIKE'S PEAK on the coronate in place of the LIBERTY seen on federal coinage. On the reverse, the border legend CLARK GRUBER & CO DENVER occupied the margin in place of the federal inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Clark, Gruber & Co. ceased producing gold coinage after 1861, with a transition to the production of molded bars and ingots. In 1863, the firm sold their facilities to the U.S. government, which began operating a federal assay office in the region. Most Clark, Gruber gold pieces -- particularly those of the larger denominations -- were eventually melted down and recoined, although the high intrinsic value of the pieces ensured that many remained in circulation during the period.
