Another So Called $50 slug HK-424a, J-315 Gilt, and a big shoutout to cardinal

coinsarefun

Thanks to Cardinal for selling me one of the more rare slugs, with the target reverse.
I want to personally thank @cardinal because he really didn't want to sell it but he found it in his heart to release
it to me. Besides he knows I almost never sell so it has a permeant home with me
I do not remember the rarity scale of this one but I think it 7.

.
I think this brings me to 7 -9 slugs. I'm going to take a break from them and put together a collage so I can look
at all of them at one time. Unless something comes up that I must have.......lol

Hard to image as the NGC slab covers part of the corners of the slug.........but it is spectacular!!

It is described as:
1915 California Octagonal Slug Facsimile MS66 NGC. HK-424a, Jankovsky-315. The old Augustus Humbert design with 000 THOUS and FIFTY DOLLS., target reverse with 50 in the center and rays. These pieces were made for sale at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, and produced by Irvine & Jachens.

I included below images of the 1915 (left) and the 1940's (right)
Also the 1915 is gilt and the 1940 is brass, with no gilt. They may be around but I haven't seen any gilt
Notice the different wording on the obverse
