Description
(1834-1837) C. Bechtler Five, MS61
CAROLINA, 140 G., RUTHERFORD
Plain Edge, Scarce Kagin-17
(1834-37) $5 C. Bechtler Five Dollar, RUTHERFORD, Plain Edge,
MS61 PCGS. K-17, R.4. Period after Rutherford. The K-17 five
dollar dies were in use for a few years until 1837. Christopher
Bechtler adopted the 40 grains, 28 carat standard in 1834. While
K-17 is scarce in Mint State, overall more than 100 examples
survive in all grades, making this one of the more available five
dollar Bechtler gold pieces. This is a reflective, greenish-gold
example that displays a crisp strike from fresh dies. The obverse
was used previously on the rare K-16 five dollar, while the reverse
is new and and shows the word DOLLARS equidistant between 5 and
RUTHERFORD. Light hairlines exist and account for the MS61 grade,
but there are no distracting marks or flan issues. Luster and eye
appeal are strong. Listed on page 407 of the 2024 Guide
