(1842-1852) $5.00. A. Bechtler. Stack 23, K.27 (Low R-5). 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.
