Guess the grade Clark Gruber...win GOLD!--Winners announced

RYK · March 16, 2004 11:44AM

Sorry, the other thread was poorly conceived...guess the year/denomination/mint/grade of this coin. Winner will get a $5 American gold eagle. Runner up will get 1923 Peace $1. Third place will get a proof cameo set of Frankies (not)--there will be no third place. Usual rules, one guess, no edits. Ties will be randomly picked.

mgoodm3 · March 16, 2004 11:46AM

Since I can't do it without editing, I'll skip this one.

It looks like an 1861 $10 Eagle minted by Clark, Gruber & Co. in Denver, Colorado in AU-53 Grade.

Though I don't like the scratches accross the face... maybe it's just on the holder? If not, BB all the way...

Well, it's definately 1861 Colorado $10 gold but the piece in the pic is better than the one pictured from on The Frederick R. Mayer Colorado Pioneer Gold site from the Clark, Gruber & Co. collection.

I'd put your coin at EF40.

One more ttt for the chance to win the yellow stuff.

RYK · March 17, 2004 11:54AM

Okay...enough kicking this dead horse...the winners (tie) are Eminem and JimC, who both picked AU-58. I tossed my 57-D $5, it came up heads, so the AGE $5 goes to Eminem and the BU Peace to JimC. Please PM me with your address and I will send out your prizes. Honorable mention to mgoodm3 for first identifying the piece as a Clark Gruber $10 on the other thread. If you PM me your address, I will send you a circulated Frankie.

Since there are already too many posts on this thread and no chance left to take a real stab,...

I'll go with a poorly replciated 1861 Clark & Gruber Co. of Colorado, NGC EF40,.... in cheap gold foil, by Hershey's Milk Chocolate Co., Hershey PA.
If it had a bunny on it I would have guessed an Easter commemorative of some type.

If I'm right you have to send me the chocolate!

1234567890 · March 17, 2004 1:10PM

That is AU-58? Oh well. Congrats to the winners.
