Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 11778)
The 1852/1 Humbert $10 was struck beginning on February 11th, 1852. Its reverse die — made sometime in 1851 while Moffat and Humbert awaited authorization to strike small denomination gold coins — was altered by punching a “2” over the original “1” in the date. This die cracked very early in its working life, and today no examples are known without a crack extending from 12:00 to 5:00 on the reverse. There are between 50 and 75 examples known today, 13 of which were discovered on the S.S. Central America. There are a handful of examples graded mint state, and any fully original AU58 would qualify for the condition census.
Obverse: Eagle clutching shield and ribbon UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 884 THOUS: TEN DOLS.
Reverse: Engine turning AUGUSTUS HUMBERT. UNITED STATES ASSAYER OF GOLD. CALIFORNIA. 1852/1.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
