Dated August 1, 1834. C. Bechtler $5 Gold. Kagin-17a. Rarity-8, Unique. With 140 G, No Beads. Finely Reeded Edge. 

This intensely lustrous pale yellow gold Bechtler $5 represents a double-delight for our bidders. Not only are the surfaces of this attractive coin visually appealing, the coin itself is unique; what better combination is there than quality and rarity? Other than assorted hairlines, no major marks assail the viewer’s eye without a detailed study. The fields are chiefly reflective and add measurably to the overall eye appeal. The high rims are marked in very few places though not heavily and best seen with a loupe. Indeed, the only marks of mention are some faint old contemporary scratches near the A in DOLLARS. As in several other Bechtler dies of various denominations, the A punch in the legends is apparently an inverted V. This is easily one of the most important coins – some might argue the most important – in an advanced Bechtler gold coin collection.

Obverse: CAROLINA GOLD. at rim from 8 to 4 o’clock around, AUGUST 1, 1834 in a semi-circle at center, 140 / .G. within, 20. above CARATS at rim below.
Reverse: C. BECHTLER. AT RUTHERFORD around, star at 9 o’clock, 5 at center, DOLLARS curves below.
