Territorial Gold
(1842-1852) $5 A. Bechtler Five Dollar, 134G. 21C, AU53 NGC. CAC. K-27, Low R.5. The Bechtler gold coins of North Carolina and Georgia provided the South with a convenient medium of circulating currency. Of course, there is no doubt that the residents in the area much preferred to deal with the Bechtlers, who were local, then to run the risk of long distance transactions with Philadelphia. Rich and natural green-gold surfaces retain traces of mint luster and modest marks that are entirely in line with the grade. An original example worthy of a premium bid. Listed on page 389 of the 2017 Guide Book. Census: 2 in 53, 22 finer. CAC: 2 in 53, 4 finer (10/16).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2009), lot 3132.
