Lot Description

Undated (1834-1837) Christopher Bechtler $5 Gold. K-17. Rarity-5. RUTHERFORD, 140.G., 20 CARATS, Plain Edge. AU-53 (PCGS). This scarce variety is an attractive orange-gold hue. Both the obverse and reverse show a few minor planchet fissures, but the wear is smooth and there are minimal signs of handling from limited circulation. The present coin will be an ideal addition to a specialized collection.
