This 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. $10 territorial gold coin, graded MS62 by NGC with only one finer at MS63, is a rare gem from the Old West gold rushes, valued at $110,000 in MS62 by Collector's Universe. Housed in the prestigious NGC Green Label holder, reserved for elite coins, it’s a must-have for territorial gold specialists with the means to acquire it. Struck in soft, unalloyed gold, these coins wore quickly, making Mint State examples exceedingly scarce; later 1861 issues added silver for durability. The obverse, depicting an idealized Pike’s Peak, was replaced by Liberty’s head in 1861. Founded by brothers Austin and Milton Clark and Emanuel Gruber, Clark, Gruber & Co. evolved from a Kansas banking firm into a private mint in Colorado by 1860. Frustrated by costly, slow shipments of gold dust to the U.S. Mint, Gruber proposed coining locally, saving on high transit fees and delays. This “sleeper” coin, often underappreciated, shines as a pinnacle of territorial gold rarity and history.
