PCGS Number: 10136 Coin Date: 1860 Denomination (Short): G$5 Denomination (Long): 5 Dollar Gold Variety: Clark, Gruber & Co. Variety 2: K-2 Desg: MS Composition: Gold Mintage: 150–180 known Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Private & Pioneer Gold Coinage Years: 1860-1861 Mint Location: Denver, Colorado Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: Liberty Head with CLARK & Co. on diadem 1860 13 stars around Reverse Description: Federal eagle. PIKES PEAK GOLD DENVER. FIVE D. General Notes: The 1860 Clark, Gruber & Company half eagle resembles a federal half eagle, although it is engraved in higher relief than its U.S. counterpart. Well-struck examples (which are somewhat scarce) have a dramatic appearance. Somewhere between 150 and 180 examples are known in private hands, and the finest example is a single premium gem that once belonged to 20th-century type collector extraordinaire, James A. Stack, Sr. Any original choice uncirculated specimen would qualify for inclusion in the condition census. PCGS #: 10136 NGC ID: ANJZ
