1 oz. Humbert California Gold Commemorative

1-oz. Pure California Gold (999.9 fine) Gold Rush Commemorative!

Patterned after the large 2.5 ounce octagonal ingots from the California Gold Rush, coined by the assayer of the United States Assay Office of San Francisco, Augustus Humbert. These historical gold coins or ingots are listed in all three editions of the book, 100 Greatest U.S. Coins. They are extremely popular, but also very rare . . . and gems have sold for more than $600,000.

This new, privately-minted 1 oz. pure gold commemorative, made of pure California gold, is based on the original assayer slugs from Augustus Humbert.  They were created using hand-carved dies created by the artistic hand of Ron Landis. The coins are struck in gem proof cameo, so they’re beauty is truly a treasure to behold, and their octagonal shape makes them unusual and very popular.

With a tiny mintage of only 1,058 coins, they are selling fast and will not last long . . . especially in the current economic environment. Many top experts are projecting higher gold prices and a much lower dollar.  Hence, these coins are not just great collectibles, but are poised to be an excellent hedge and a tremendous opportunity.
