Colorado Gold (1860-1861)

About This Series

Private gold coins produced during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush by Clark, Gruber & Company and John Parsons. Clark Gruber operated in Denver and produced $2.50, $5, $10, and $20 denominations. Parsons struck $2.50 and $5 pieces in the mountain mining camps. Both operations were short-lived, replaced by a government assay office and eventually the Denver Mint.
