Description

1851 50C Genuine PCGS. WB-102. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that has been cleaned. A moderately hairlined pearl-gray and chestnut-gold example. The first 1 in the date is repunched. Undoubtedly, much of the mintage was melted by bullion speculators in the aftermath of the California Gold Rush.
