1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. $20. Kagin-4a (page 359) . Copper Die Trial Pattern. Reeded Edge. Rarity-6. AU-53 BN NGC.
Warm chestnut brown throughout with no marks of measure and just a modicum of even wear. Whoever engraved Pike’s Peak never saw the peak itself, and perhaps never saw an actual mountain judged by the near-comical pyramid-like item that is front and center on this popular issue; the reverse eagle passes muster in our eyes. Pleasing for the grade and highly collectable in its own right.
Much scarcer than the 1861 issue with only a couple of dozen known.
