 1996 Pike's Peak Pewter ANA Convention Denver, Colorado mintage: 1,200 (1/2 errors) |
| Humorous parody of Pike's Peak Gold Ten Dollar piece
that was produced as a private territorial mint issue by Clark, Gruber
and Company in 1860. The irony of the original 19th Century coin is
that the depiction of Pike's Peak bears no resemblance to the real
mountain. Additionally, the gold used in that coin did not even come
from the Pike's Peak area gold mines, but from the east coast of the
U.S. Companion piece to the "COLO. SPGS." under mountain version for the ANA Summer Seminar of 1996. Links: Actual Pike's Peak Gold Piece - American Numismatic Association |
