- 1852 Augustus Humbert $10. K-10. Rarity-5. EF-45 (PCGS). A brilliant yellow-gold example with tinges of bronze iridescence scattered throughout. The strike is somewhat soft at center but otherwise bold, complemented by considerable luster in the protected areas. Minor abrasions are apparent in the fields but none of which draw the eye. An attractive and historic example. This was struck under the authority of the first appointed United States Assayer of Gold in California, Augustus Humbert. His name is prominent on the entire early series which was produced shortly after his appointment. Later, the coins would be changed to reflect the broader authority of the U.S. Assay Office of Gold. Later still, the operations of the Assay Office would cease, and in their stead the Branch Mint at San Francisco would commence operations. As such, these early Humbert issues are representative of the roots of what would become the San Francisco Mint. Provenance: From The Dr. Andrew Mitchell Collection. PCGS Population: 20; 28 finer. PCGS# 10187. NGC ID: ANGG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
