Description

NGC 1852/1 Humbert Ten-Dollar AU 55. K-8, High R.5. This is a distinctive variety that is characterized by a prominent die crack that runs horizontally across the entire reverse. These coins were struck during a four-day period between February 11 and 14 of 1852. Apparently the vast majority of the coins struck went immediately into circulation, and few were saved as mementoes. This piece is tied with one other coin as the second finest certified, being exceeded in grade by only by a PCGS AU 58. The central striking details on the obverse are quite weak on the shield, arrows, and eagle's claws. There is also an area of weakness at the bottom of the obverse that may be where some grease or dirt adhered to the die. However, the surfaces are unusually clean and show only the slight marks that would be consistent with a coin of this grade. The most conspicuous mark is one between STATES and OF at the top of the obverse. A rare opportunity to acquire this upper-condition census coin. Listed on page 266 of the 1994 Guide Book.
