(1842-1852) $1.00. August Bechtler. Kagin 24, Stack 22
|
AU |
$1,500.00
|
About Uncirculated. This bright yellow-gold example of the Plain Edge, 21 C. 27 G. Dollar shows little actual circulation. The planchet is somewhat rippled toward the outer rims, providing a fascinating texture. A glass finds a tiny dig over 'N' of the issuer's middle initial. |

(1842-1852) $5.00. A. Bechtler. Stack 23, K.27 (Low R-5)
|
AU |
$11,000.00
|
About Uncirculated. This obverse is inscribed CAROLINA GOLD, 134.G:/ 21./ CARATS. The reverse identifies August Bechtler as coiner AT RUTHERFORD. This coin shows some very superficial handling with a few unimportant marks but is beautifully struck and altogether desirable, vastly superior to most other surviving examples of the Rutherfordton, North Carolina, private coinage. |

$26,000.00
|
Extremely Fine. This example of the rugged California coinage of Humbert's Provisional Mint has seen its share of normal circulation but remains boldly detailed and appealing. The scroll with its raised 887 THOUS is crisply impressed, as are the national name and date. The outer AUGUSTUS HUMBERT legend varies in its completeness, becoming weak at 2:30 to 5:00. The edge reeding is somewhat... more |

|
AU |
$3,000.00
|
About Uncirculated in strict terms of wear, pale yellow gold surfaces are remarkably smooth but there is an abrasion on the eagle's neck and an unobtrusive obverse rim nick at 2:00. |

|
AU |
$26,000.00
|
About Uncirculated. The scroll over Charles Cushing Wright's defiant eagle gives the fineness as 900 THOUS, the outer legend identifies the United States Assay Office of Gold that succeeded U.S. Assayer Augustus Humbert's earlier facility that first coined the octagonal $50 ''Slugs'' that are today the greatest numismatic relics of the California Gold Rush. This reverse shows the engine-turned... more |
