- (1842-52) $5 A. Bechtler Five Dollar, 134G. 21C. AU58+ NGC. CAC. K-27, Low R.5. A rare August Bechtler variety, coined after 1841. Struck with a reeded edge. The light olive-green surfaces reveal considerable remnants of original mint luster, as coppery red-orange highlights cling to many of the devices. The fields display distinctly prooflike qualities on each side. The rims are incompletely finished on the upper half of the reverse, but most of the other design motifs are boldly produced. A thick horizontal die break crosses through the IN in CAROLINA. Census: 1 in 58+, 2 finer (8/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $16450.00.

- (1842-52) G$1 A. Bechtler Dollar, 27G. 21C., Plain Edge AU55 NGC. K-24, R.3. A. Bechtler dollars were produced in the timeframe of 1842-1852, well after the nation's branch mints in Dahlonega, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina, had begun to coin gold. This variety displays all regular As, unlike many earlier issues. According to Kagin, it "sometimes comes with high rims and rotated reverses." This Choice AU example displays much remaining luster over khaki surfaces and exhibits only a few minor abrasions. The planchet is bent slightly. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

- 1834 $5 C. Bechtler Five Dollar, RUTHERFORD, Plain Edge MS61 NGC. CAC. K-17, R.5. Writing in Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States (1981), Donald Kagin noted, in regard to the Bechtler private gold coinage operation in North Carolina: "Another major modification in the Bechtler coinage occurred in 1834. That year Congress passed a bill reducing the gold content of our gold coins. Bechtler prepared new dies engraved with the date 'August 1, 1834' and began producing new coins with the reduced weight." The pleasing reddish and green-gold coloration displayed on both sides of this example provides assurance of the originality of this lovely Mint State piece. Design motifs are well struck and well centered on both sides, and considerable mint luster radiates from the nicely preserved surfaces. An exceptional representative of this important, conditionally scarce variety from the private mint of Christopher Bechtler. Census: 7 in 61, 2 finer (8/14). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $22325.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- (1834-37) G$1 C. Bechtler Dollar, 28G. Centered MS62 NGC. K-3, R.6. Recognized by the colon after C and before BECHTLER, K-3 is also diagnosed by "28G" being centered rather than high in the field as seen on the K-2 variety. Bechtler gold was widely circulated in the South and it is rarely encountered in Mint condition. Bechtler, a German immigrant, struck gold coins at his home near Rutherfordton, North Carolina, beginning in 1831. His successful private mint helped fill the need for a locally-produced medium of exchange in that state's gold-mining district. This example is more sharply struck than average, with weakness noted only on some of the dentils. The luster is full and the fields are pleasingly semireflective. Both sides display light green-gold coloration and a few faint hairlines, but no large or distracting surface abrasions. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $19975.00.

- (1792) CENT Washington Born Virginia, General of the Armies Reverse MS65 Brown NGC. CAC. Plain Edge. Baker-60, Breen-1239, 1995 COAC WA.1792.9, W-10730, R.5. 167.8 grains, 99% copper per NGC metallurgical tests. NGC has certified five of these cents, including the present example, an MS62 Brown, and three pieces in the VF grade range. PCGS has examined 27 examples, including those graded MS66 Brown, MS63 Brown, and MS62 Brown. Based on the combined population, this coin is the second finest of five Mint State pieces. The inscriptions on this piece provided a summary of George Washington's life. He was born in Virginia on February 11, 1732, appointed General of the American Armies in 1775, resigned that position in 1783, and elected President of the United States in 1789. Washington's commanding physical appearance equaled his military and political stature. At the age of 26, he was described as "six feet two inches in his stockings, and weighing 175 pounds." Why is that important? PBS.org gives three reasons: {blockquote} "Recorded impressions of his contemporaries make very clear that his physical appearance reflected to a remarkable degree the distinctive qualities of his mind and character. "His sheer personal presence was a significant and characteristic part of his greatness and of his influence on the world. "The mere image of Washington was a source of strength and encouragement to the Revolutionary and Founding generation of Americans."{/blockquote} Both sides of this remarkable piece have exceptional chocolate-brown surfaces with full cartwheel luster, exhibiting splashes of tan, faded from mint red. The surfaces are virtually flawless, and the strike is exceptional. This Gem possesses physical greatness that is equal to Washington's commanding presence. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $82250.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
