The Kagin-7 Humbert slug is the second use of the 1851 $50 Reeded Edge 887-Thousandths obverse die and is always found with moderate to heavy die rust. Its reverse uses a new die with a smaller target at its center and a “racetrack” with a smaller diameter than the planchet, so that the outer engine turning is generally at least 70% visible.

Obverse Description

Eagle clutching shield and scroll AUGUSTUS HUMBERT UNITED STATES ASSAYER OF GOLD CALIFORNIA 1851 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. FIFTY DOLLS. 887 THOUs.

Reverse Description

Engine turning with small target.
