<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldbully, post: 956959, member: 26738&quot;]Hey Guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>I found this site yesterday and can&#039;t get off the forums! So addicting.&nbsp; Learning so much from all the knowledgeable people here. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I was randomly searching on ebay this morning and found an auction from someone trying to sell a &quot;1851 Humbert 50 dollars&quot; coin.&nbsp; Even though I am a new collector, I remember this particular coin because of the octagonal shape from an encyclopedia I was reading about coins in the 4th grade! </p><p><br /></p><p>Link: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1851-Humbert-50-dollars-/120601026351?cmd=ViewItem&amp;pt=UK_Coins_USA_RL&amp;hash=item1c14619f2f#ht_500wt_1154" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1851-Humbert-50-dollars-/120601026351?cmd=ViewItem&amp;pt=UK_Coins_USA_RL&amp;hash=item1c14619f2f#ht_500wt_1154" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1851-Humbert-50-dollars-/120601026351?cmd=ViewItem&amp;pt=UK_Coins_USA_RL&amp;hash=item1c14619f2f#ht_500wt_1154</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I remember wishing I had one, and was astonished at its price. So I was a bit stunned to see this coin on ebay today, but I searched around and it looks almost identical to this coin, from another site. It looks altered (to me), and that with the seller&#039;s feedback makes me think that their might be some funny business going on?</p><p><br /></p><p>Link:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/coins_for_sale/PRINT/1851-50-humbert-ncs-xf-details-31001_321_p.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/coins_for_sale/PRINT/1851-50-humbert-ncs-xf-details-31001_321_p.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/coins_for_sale/PRINT/1851-50-humbert-ncs-xf-details-31001_321_p.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
