- Popular N Reversed Bechtler Gold Dollar
Undated (1837-1842) Christopher Bechtler $1. K-4. Rarity-4. 28.G., N REVERSED. AU-55 (PCGS).
Golden-olive patina dominates both sides at first glance, however at direct angles iridescent pink, gold and cobalt create an enticing visual display. All design elements are boldly rendered, the fields revealing subtle semi-reflective tendencies as the coin dips into a light. Tiny beginning crack from the arm of the star extending to the letter C in CAROLINA, much bolder crack from the letter L in the same word to the serif of I and to the rim. Kagin-4 is the latest gold dollar type attributed to Christopher Bechtler, produced as part of his seventh series of private gold coinage as attributed by the legend BECHTLER without the initial C and the weight standard of 28 grains per dollar. This is also one of the more endearing Bechtler issues with today's collectors due to the bold engraving blunder on the reverse with the letter N in ONE reversed and punched over a smaller, correctly oriented N. While fairly easy to obtain in an absolute sense by Territorial gold standards, the K-4 Bechtler dollar is conditionally challenging and only infrequently encountered in Mint State. In attractive choice AU, the present example should prove very popular and we expect strong bids.
Provenance: From the Collection of a Southern Gentleman.
