1851年亨伯特（Humbert

由格雷格·科恩（Greg Cohen） - 高級錢幣主義者，Stack's Bowers畫廊……很少有硬幣像奧古斯都·亨伯特（Augustus Humbert）那樣喚起野外西部的歷史，戲劇和浪漫史，例如$ 50的金幣或“ Slugs”

The large $50 gold ingots or "slugs" struck by Augustus Humbert under the auspices of the United States Assay Office of Gold in San Francisco are among the most prized coins of the Wild West.

奧古斯都·亨伯特（Augustus Humbert）在舊金山黃金分析辦公室的主持下，奧古斯都·洪伯特（Augustus Humbert）擊中了50美元的$ 50金幣或“ slug”。

Each slug contains nearly 2.5 troy ounces of gold and measure about 1.5 inches in diameter. These massive pieces are impressive in any grade, but as many were later melted as bullion and recoined at the San Francisco Mint, any example at auction is a delight for collectors. Rarer still are the few examples that exist in Mint State grade.

每個sl子含有近2.5盎司的金黃色，直徑約為1.5英寸。這些巨大的作品在任何級別上都令人印象深刻，但是後來許多人融化了金條並在舊金山造幣廠進行了重新融化，拍賣的任何例子都是收藏家的喜悅。稀有者仍然是造幣廠等級中存在的幾個例子。

Stack's Bowers Galleries is presenting an NGC-graded example of the 880 THOUS., Target Reverse 1851 Humbert $50 type, with reeded edge (Kagin-5) in its May 2025 Showcase auction. This piece ranks among the finest graded by either major grading service; NGC reports just three in MS62 and a single MS62+ graded finer.

Stack的Bowers Galleries在2025年5月的2025年5月展示櫃拍賣會上，展示了880 Thous。 ，Target Reverse 1851 humbert $ 50類型的NGC分級示例。這篇文章是任何一項主要分級服務評分的最佳分數。 NGC在MS62中僅報告了三個，單個MS62+分級較差。

Certainly, worthy of its assigned grade, Stack's Bowers' cataloger's description reads: "Warm olive undertones backlight dominant medium honey-gold color, the surfaces lustrous with a lively frosty texture. Overall striking detail is exceptional, accuracy alone compelling us to mention the often-seen softness on the central obverse high points. We stress, however, that the peripheral legend on that side is legible in full, with each individual letter crisp. The edges are remarkably smooth and free of the typically encountered large bumps and deep bruises. Also free of sizable surface marks, and while faint hairlines are present to explain the MS-62 grade from NGC, both the eye appeal and overall quality are exceptional for the type. This is an outstanding coin that combines absolute scarcity with condition rarity."

當然，值得一分為份的等級，值得一提的是：“溫暖的橄欖色底色背光背光顯著的中等蜂蜜金色，表面具有可愛的冰冷質地，整體上令人震驚的細節。酥脆的邊緣非常光滑，沒有遇到大的凹痕和深度瘀傷。
