Description
Popular C. Bechtler Quarter Eagle, AU55
67G., 21C, K-10
(1837-42) $2 1/2 C. Bechtler Quarter Eagle, 67G. 21C. AU55 PCGS.
K-10, R.5. The only noted die pair for the "67 grains, 21
carats" production run. This particular variety is the single most
available Bechtler quarter eagle in today's market, with some
estimates claiming that nearly half or even a majority of survivors
are of this type. Though it comprises a large portion of the
population, interest from Territorial type collectors has kept
demand high.Though accurate grading is sometimes difficult with territorial gold coins, this mustard-gold piece shows distinctly lustrous fields with just a touch of friction evident. The coloration is even, and the eye appeal is excellent. Listed on page 360 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 6 in 55, 5 finer (4/10).
