perception of the past. Ornate engravings may attract the collector, but
it historical significance that defines the ultimate intrinsic value of a mining

Several folds, otherwise in very good plus condition.
Horace Tabor was Leadville's Silver King. His history
became Colorado legend. Although Tabor had tied a significant amount of his wealth
to silver mining, he was convinced by several of his business partners -- D.H.
Moffat, Eben Smith, R.H Reid, O.H.P. Baxter, among others -- to diversify into
gold mining properties. And thus, he invested in this Cripple Creek gold
mine, not far from Moffat and Smith's Anaconda Gold Mining Company. This is a rare certificate, even more so when issued and
uncancelled.
