<B>1855 $50 Kellogg & Co. Fifty Dollar Restrike Gem Proof PCGS.</B></I> Struck September 2, 2001, with a proof mintage of 209 pieces. The restrike Kellogg fifties were made from Kellogg & Humbert gold bars recovered from the S.S. Central America. The bars were too heavy to be readily sold, and Dwight Manley of the California Gold Marketing Group decided to shave the faces off the ingots, sell the faces, and transform the remainder into relic medals such as the present pristine example.<BR><I>From The New York Eye Appeal Collection, Part Three.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
