label: Description
content: Federal fear of private competition eventually helped drive Clark, Gruber & Co. from the field of coinage. The firm switched to ingots in 1862, and was bought out by the national government the following year. The pretense was that the facilities would soon form the basis of a new federal branch mint. But the new coiner was a long time coming: it didn't issue coins until 1906. When it did, its products were identical with other money from other mints, with the sole exception of a prominent D-for Denver-that now graced a space toward the bottom of the reverse.
