1860 Gold Dollar NGC PR66 Cameo

Sirhc

A Very Rare One (G$1)

The 1860 proof gold dollar enjoyed a mintage of 154 pieces. Perhaps Mint Director James Ross Snowden was anticipating larger numbers of collectors to buy proof gold in 1860, the same way he over anticipated the demand for silver and minor proofs. However, this is a rarer issue than that mintage would lead one to expect – it’s likely that many specimens went unsold and were melted after the end of the year. This little jewel of a survivor offers plenty of cameo contrast and flash to viewers. The NGC population is only two with none higher.

1860-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS61

Sirhc

Rare Mint State

 The 1860-S Type One Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 544,950 pieces, a substantial production total in absolute terms, but slightly smaller than average for a San Francisco issue from this period. The coins were released into the channels of commerce, where they circulated heavily for many years, suffering the usual wear and attrition along the way. Few high-quality examples were saved by contemporary numismatists and the issue is rare in Mint State grades today. The current PCGS population is 16 with 12 higher. This particular example is a bit lighter and brighter than seen on our images. Listed at $16,300 in the CDN CPG and $12,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Very Rare Mint State 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. $10 NGC MS60

Sirhc

In 1860 and 1861, Clark, Gruber & Co. of Denver produced gold pieces in four denominations, $2.50, $5, $10, and $20. Substantial quantities of gold were mined in the region around Denver, including the most famous community, Cripple Creek. The firm was operated by Milton Clark, Austin Clark, and Emanuel Henry Gruber. The Clark brothers were wholesale grocers in Leavenworth, Kansas, and they teamed with Gruber, formerly a St. Louis bank cashier, to pursue assaying, minting, and banking. They  issued their first gold coins in July 1860. The purpose of these private gold pieces was much the same as it was a decade earlier in California. Gold dust and small nuggets were valued over a wide range by merchants, and the issue of private gold coins solved the problem. The NGC population is just 6 with 15 higher. Listed at $54,400 in the CDN CPG and $54,500 in the NGC price guide.
