Description
NGC 1852/1 Humbert Twenty-Dollar MS 60. K-9, R.6. After the first year's production of $50 "slugs," the Assay Office began to produce gold coins that were more convenient to use in the channels of commerce. Sometime between March 5 and April 2, 1852 7,500 of these twenty-dollar gold pieces were struck by the Assay Office under the auspices of Augustus Humbert. Mint state examples are quite rare and highly prized by territorial collectors. This piece is sharply struck in the centers. The obverse shows a semi-reflective sheen in the more protected areas and the fields have a deep reddish patina that provides a pleasing contrast to the bright green-gold seen in the recesses of the devices. There are a few small abrasions on each side, the most notable ones being to the left and right of the date on the reverse. Listed on page 266 of the 1994 Guide Book.
