1861 5 Dollar Clark Gruber K-10 Pattern White Metal NGC MS63

The Finest $5 Piece Civil War-Era Clark Gruber White Metal Coin Known!

Before there was a Denver Mint, there was Clark, Gruber & Company. During the days of the Colorado Gold rush, this private company was a go-to source for those looking to turn their raw gold dust into spendable coins. The company was only in operation for about three years, but in that time they struck more than half a million dollars' worth of gold from Pikes Peak.

In fact, the source of the gold was so important to the owners that when they created this $5 test pattern out of "white metal" in 1861, Liberty was shown adorned with a crown that says, "PIKES PEAK!" Now you can get this incredibly hard-to-find pattern, graded by NGC as incredible Mint State-63 (MS63) condition. Only three of $5 pieces have been graded by NGC. This $5 piece is the finest known!

Take yourself back to the days of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, secure this numismatic treasure and make your American collection truly world-class!
