Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Clark, Gruber and Co. 1860 $10 gold coin is that it was issued by a private mint in Colorado during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, which was a time of significant economic and population growth in the region. The coin's design features a portrait of George Washington on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, and it was made from gold that was mined locally in Colorado. Despite being a privately issued coin, it was widely accepted as a form of currency in the region and remains a highly sought-after collector's item today.
