The Summer 2022 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: Premium CAC-Approved 1855 Wass, Molitor & Co. $50 Gold Rarity 1855 Wass, Molitor & Co. $50. K-9. Rarity-5. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. Offered is a rare, premium quality, CAC-approved example of this classic rarity in the privately issued California Gold Rush coinage series. Warm honey-gold color with olive highlights. With some marks, as can be seen from the images, although we stress that these are common to these large, heavy, and utilitarian coins which remained in circulation in San Francisco at least through the end of the 1850s. Isolated portions of the design are a bit faint, noticeably the date on the obverse and those features in the center of the reverse, but all are identifiable, and the overall design is fully appreciable. Premium examples of Wass, Molitor & Co. coins of any denomination are of the utmost rarity and desirability in today's market, and this is particularly true of the $50 denomination, as evidence by the paltry CAC population data for the issue. Here, indeed, is an important survivor from one of the most storied of the California Gold Rush coiners. Provenance: From the Jones Collection. CAC Population: 13 in all grades. PCGS# 10363.
