1860 | $20 Copper K4A | Clark Gruber | NGC | MS-62-BN

Introducing the 1860 Clark Gruber K-4 $20 Copper Coin, a rare and historically significant piece of American numismatics. Certified by NGC in Mint State 62 BN (Brown) condition, this coin is a testament to the exciting era of the Colorado Gold Rush.

The $20 Gold coin from this year is several hundred thousand dollars, if you can find one.  In addition to the gold coin, trial-strikes in copper were issued as well, with the same design as the gold issue.  These are much more affordable, yet extremely rare and depict the actual Pikes Peak on the obverse, just like the gold issue.  This is a beautiful example and a perfect find for enthusiasts on somewhat of a budget.  Under 150 are known in all grades combined.

On the obverse side, this exceptional coin features a prominent pile (most likely representing gold), with the word "Denver" inscribed beneath it. At the bottom, "Ten D." signifies its denomination, while "Pikes Peak Gold" is elegantly displayed at the top. This coin pays tribute to the famed Pikes Peak region in Colorado, known for its rich gold reserves.

The reverse of the coin showcases a majestic American Eagle, firmly grasping an arrow with its right talons, symbolizing power and readiness. On the left side, what appears to be an olive branch signifies peace. "1860" is prominently written at the bottom to mark the coin's minting year. At the top, "Clark Gruber & Co." is inscribed, signifying the private mint that played a pivotal role in coinage during the Colorado Gold Rush.
