(1842-1852) $1.00. August Bechtler, Carolina Gold. Stack 19, K.23 (R-3). RE. Extremely Fine or a trifle better. Boldly struck on a typically wavy planchet, this coin displays crisply full legends with a hint of red-gold in the obverse field. A single die crack crosses the base of '1,' and a short lamination line extends from 'D' to the rim below. Here is a very delightful example of one of the last Bechtler issues.
