Description
Significant C. Bechtler Dollar
K-1, AU Details
(1831-34) G$1 C. Bechtler Dollar, 30G.--Improperly Cleaned--NCS.
AU Details. K-1, R.4. This variety is important because it
represents the first gold dollar produced in the United States.
Christopher Bechtler began striking these pieces as early as
1831--a full 18 years ahead of the U.S. Mint. Pale yellow patina
coats the minimally abraded surfaces, with a touch of lilac around
the devices. The strike is slightly off-center, as often seen, and
about half of the dentils are missing. A few tiny retained
laminations are noted on each side. This lightly cleaned AU piece
would make a nice example of this historic issue. Listed on page
359 of the 2010 Guide Book.From The Mulkin Collection.
