Description

(1834-37) C.Bechtler Five-Dollar, 140G. 20C. XF 45 Cleaned and Light Damage. K-19, High R.6. A numismatically significant issue as the date of the enabling legislation, August 1, 1834, is imprinted in the die. The coin appears to have been struck over another coin of the same variety as there is a second impression of the peripheral lettering evident on each side, the lettering of the host coin seen far left of the second, final striking. Obviously hairlined on both sides, the surfaces show much reddish color in the fields also. The damage mentioned above, upon close examination, does not appear to be post-striking in nature, but rather seems to be a long and rather deep lamination in the die. Listed on page 261 of the 1994 Guide Book.
