Impressive Mid-Grade 1852 U.S. Assay $50 Gold Piece 1852 United States Assay Office of Gold $50 Gold. K-13. Rarity-5. 887 THOUS. VF-35 (NGC). Struck in classic bright yellow-gold with no signs of copper hues found. The obverse corners have a couple of minor knocks on the left side, the reverse corners seem better preserved with the handsome engine turned design at the center. The eagle's upstretched wings are clear and most of the wear is focused on the breast of the eagle and thigh below, along with the shield. Research has shown the .887 THOUS issue to be scarcer than many of the others, hence demand is always high for these when they appear in the numismatic market. PCGS# 10016.
