Description
Near-Mint A. Bechtler Five (1842-1852)
134G. 21 Carats, Rare K-27 Variety
(1842-52) $5 A. Bechtler Five Dollar, 134G. 21C. AU58 NGC.
K-27, Low R.5. Canary-gold luster brightens the legends of this
lovely orange-toned Borderline Uncirculated Bechtler five. The
strike is consistent throughout, and no marks are remotely worthy
of description. Without the often-seen die scratch between the IN
in CAROLINA, which suggests the present Territorial gold coin was
struck relatively early for the die pairing. Struck from widely
rotated dies. Kagin-27 is one of the later products of the Bechtler
mint, made after the 1842 death of Christopher Sr., the family
patriarch. His son Augustus continued production of gold coinage
until 1852. Listed on page 361 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Census: 11 in 58, 2 finer (2/10).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2B9Y, PCGS# 10046, Greysheet# 11687)
