Premium Quality PCGS/CAC MS-62
Undated (1842-1852) August Bechtler $1. K-24. Rarity-3. 27.G., 21.C. Plain Edge. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Stellar quality for an example of this popular type issue in the challenging Bechtler gold series. Intense reflectivity shines forth from vivid golden-olive surface as the coin rotates under a light. Smartly impressed with only wispy handling marks precluding an even higher numeric grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more attractive and desirable coin at the BU grade level. The reverse is rotated nearly 180 degrees clockwise from coin alignment. The Kagin-24 dollar with plain edge is the most frequently Bechtler gold coin in numismatic circles, making it an obvious choice for the collector seeking just a single representative from this important private minting establishment. Given the demand for high grade examples, as here, such pieces are actually quite scarce from a market availability standpoint. Indeed, we suspect that this coin will have no difficulty finding its way into a tightly held cabinet, in which it will certainly serve as a highlight.
