Lot 2037
1852 U.S. Assay Office $50 "slug", 887 THOUS. Reeded edge. PCGS graded EF-45. Smooth, even wear on this rare territorial gold "slug". The corners show a few moderate bumps, not the usual mountain ranges seen on more worn coins. Old toning ranging into the red rose color range around the edges, and well struck for this issue. The peripheral lettering is weak, but can be seen with a glass. With the popular bull's-eye reverse, and 887 THOUS proudly displayed on the obverse above the eagle. An historic coin that will easily find a happy home with a territorial specialist.
