- Inviting Choice EF Kagin-6 Humbert "Slug" 1851 Augustus Humbert $50. Reeded Edge. K-6. Rarity-4. 887 THOUS., Target Reverse. EF-45 (NGC). An attractive circulated alternative to the Mint Sate example of this variety offered in the preceding lot. Rich olive-honey color blankets both sides, the surfaces of which also reveal considerable remnants of frosty luster as the coin rotates under a light. Peripheral striking detail is superior for the type and comes up short only at the lower left and left borders, where Augustus Humbert's name is difficult to discern. High point softness to the eagle is typical for both the issue and the assigned grade, as are scattered handling marks that include a few minor edge bumps. Visually appealing for this large and impressive type, this coin will have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced collection, be it a Territorial gold type set or one focused on California Gold Rush issues. Provenance: From the Madrone Collection. PCGS# 10214. NGC ID: ANH9. Click here for certification details from NGC. Click here to see Coins in Motion.[“Coins]
