- Undated (1837-1842) Christopher Bechtler $5. K-20. Rarity-4. 134.G., 21 CARATS, With Star. AU-50 (NGC). Deep khaki-gold patina with faint traces of pale rose tinting evident as the surfaces dip into a light. A bit subdued in appearance, yet retaining sharp detail to all design elements that is sure to catch the eye of high grade type collectors and territorial gold enthusiasts alike. The inscriptions 134.G., 21 CARATS confirm this coin as a survivor of Christopher Bechtler's six series of five-dollar gold issues. Although this is one of the more frequently encountered types from this private minting firm, examples are scarce in an absolute sense, especially from a market availability standpoint. Worthy of serious bidder consideration. Provenance: From the Blue Ridge Mountains Portfolio. PCGS# 10097. NGC ID: 6HJW. Click here for certification details from NGC.
