<B>1853 $10 Assay Office Ten Dollar, 884 Thous. AU53 PCGS.</B></I> K-15, R.7. Walter Breen classified the issues of Augustus Humbert and the U.S. Assay Office as issues of "The United States Branch Mint at San Francisco" and gave them a separate chapter in his <I>Complete Encyclopedia.</B></I> Nearly the entire production of this entity was in the form of $50 slugs, or "ingots" as they were called at the time. A considerable number of $20 gold pieces were coined, and few $10 pieces were minted. Quantifying the rarity ratings of Donald Kagin, for all of the various issues combined, approximately 500 $50 pieces survive, 800 $20 pieces, and just 200 $10 pieces, including less than a dozen of this particular variety. This example is a delightful representative with light yellow-gold color that exhibits hints of green, and retaining traces of reflective fields. Like nearly all California gold pieces, the surfaces are lightly marked, but are exceptional on this representative.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
