Humbert $50 slug graded

This coin was on the shared orders page: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/85746676 How would this Humbert have circulated down to the VF grade range?
Also there was a 1911 $20 Saint on the same walkthrough invoice. https://www.pcgs.com/Membership/sharedorder.aspx?OrderNo=21283380&Year=2017&Month=8

Someone's pocket piece?
Maybe turned into a pocket piece to hide some damage or cleaning? Looks cool the way it is.
Well, it is 166 years old ya know!

Heavy pocket...
They would have walked with a slight tilt, for sure!
Looks like it was a pocket piece for a while... in a pocket without other stuff mostly... just carry wear. Would still love to own it....

That looks to be a really top notch coin for the grade. Many of the higher grade pieces have significant marks and edge issues. These coins were big, heavy and solf, and given that finding a VF that looks like that is remarkable.
You must remember than paper money was illegal in California for part of the 19th century. Therefore these coins did have purpose, especially given the fact that prices were very high for the essentials during the gold rush.
Very neat coin. $35K in VF, not in my future... but it is nice to dream!
I don't know if $35k would win that piece in a major auction. I looked at an auction that had several pieces it, and picked out the pieces that would have worked for me. They all went for way over the "Coin Facts" numbers.
Of course everyone knows that when I bid on something it goes for a record high amount without fail.
Nice specimen
