When California became a state in the year 1850, one of the most acute problems its burgeoning economy faced was a lack of coinage. One of the key figures in the effort to solve that problem was the U.S. Assayer in San Francisco, Augustus Humbert, who gave his name to a remarkable series of octagonal gold ingots in 1851 and 1852. Those fifty-dollar ingots became some of the most prized items in numismatics and inspired a set of commemorative coins designed to echo their aesthetic. Struck in the late Aughts, these commemorative pieces are sought-after collectibles in their own right, featuring a cameo finish and available in a Gem Proof grade certified by NGC. The team at Silver.com is pleased to offer the 2009 1 oz Gold Proof Humbert Commemorative Octagon Coin for online purchase.

Coin Highlights:

  • Comes in a tamper-proof plastic container with a label verifying its NGC-certified Gem Proof grade!
  • Issued in 2009!
  • Exclusive original mintage of just over 1,000 coins!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold.
  • Struck using hand-crafted dies.
  • Obverse side features an eagle.
  • Reverse side features a set of inscriptions.

The 2009 Gold Proof Humbert Commemorative Octagon Coin contains a Troy ounce of pure California gold, and ships in a secure plastic container that bears a label with its NGC-certified Gem Proof grade: a coin free of flaws except for a few hairline scratches. Silver.com fully insures each item against loss or damage.

These commemorative pieces were struck using hand-crafted dies made by famous artist Ron Landis. Their grading comes from the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), a trusted third-party coin grading service for almost four decades. NGC’s team of experts has graded more than 55 million coins, and their assessments are widely relied upon by coin dealers.

The obverse side features an eagle with outstretched wings and a rock and shield in the background. It’s surrounded by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “PURE CAL. GOLD,” with further lettering at the outer rim: “AUGUSTUS HUMBERT,” “UNITED STATES ASSAYER OF GOLD,” “CALIFORNIA,” and “1852.”

The reverse side carries the inscriptions “HUMBERT GOLD INGOT,” “COMMEMORATIVE 2009,” “PURE CALIFORNIA GOLD,” and “1 OZ TROY 999.9 FINE,” all set against the decoration of an abstract geometric pattern.

Supplies of this dazzling coin come from an exclusive limited mintage, and Silver.com recommends ordering early. Call us today at 888-989-7223, send an e-mail inquiry, or talk to a team member at our online live chat if you have questions about gold for sale.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
