1851年亨伯特（Humbert

由格雷格·科恩（Greg Cohen） - 高级钱币主义者，Stack's Bowers画廊……很少有硬币像奥古斯都·亨伯特（Augustus Humbert）那样唤起野外西部的历史，戏剧和浪漫史，例如$ 50的金币或“ 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.

奥古斯都·亨伯特（Augustus Humbert）在旧金山黄金分析办公室的主持下，奥古斯都·洪伯特（Augustus Humbert）击中了50美元的$ 50金币或“ 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.

每个sl子含有近2.5盎司的金黄色，直径约为1.5英寸。这些巨大的作品在任何级别上都令人印象深刻，但是后来许多人融化了金条并在旧金山造币厂进行了重新融化，拍卖的任何例子都是收藏家的喜悦。稀有者仍然是造币厂等级中存在的几个例子。

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月展示柜拍卖会上，展示了880 Thous。，Target Reverse 1851 humbert $ 50类型的NGC分级示例。这篇文章是任何一项主要分级服务评分的最佳分数。 NGC在MS62中仅报告了三个，单个MS62+分级较差。

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."

当然，值得一分为份的等级，值得一提的是：“温暖的橄榄色底色背光背光显着的中等蜂蜜金色，表面具有可爱的冰冷质地，整体上令人震惊的细节。酥脆的边缘非常光滑，没有遇到大的凹痕和深度瘀伤。
