1851 $50 RE Humbert Fifty Dollar, Reeded Edge, 887 Thous. VF25 PCGS. K-7, R.4. While the Humbert fifty is a well-known and scarce issue, this particular variety is among the less often seen for the issue. It is identified by the reverse style with its smaller concentric circles and outer ribbon away from the edge. The surfaces are typically abraded for a circulated coin of this size and weight, especially near the borders. Moderate wear is likewise noted, along with pebbly central obverse surfaces from a rusted die. The green-gold surfaces show a slight degree of reddish patina near some of the obverse devices. This piece is housed in a green label PCGS holder. Listed on page 392 of the 2017 Guide Book.
Ex: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 5771.
