Description
(1834-37) C. Bechtler Five Dollar, AU50
RUTHERFORD., Plain Edge, K-17
140 Grains, 20 Carats
(1834-37) $5 C. Bechtler Five Dollar, RUTHERFORD, Plain Edge,
AU50 PCGS. CAC. K-17, R.4. A charming Bechtler family type
coin. Well made with good centering, an even strike, and no
indication of buckling. The caramel-gold surfaces are free from any
distracting abrasions, and show orange-red hues in protected
regions. A clue to its rustic origins is the use of an inverted V
punch in place of the letter A. Christopher Bechtler was the
founder of the family private mint in North Carolina. After his
passing, his son Augustus continued operations for several years.
