Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Clark, Gruber & Co. 1861 $10 gold coin is that it was issued during a time when the United States was still in the process of forming its national currency system. Prior to the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in 1913, private banks and territories were allowed to issue their own currency, which led to a diverse range of banknotes and coins being circulated throughout the country. The Clark, Gruber & Co. coin is a rare example of a privately issued gold coin that was minted in Colorado during this time period.
