Lot 760
(1837-42) Christopher Bechtler, ONE DOLLAR CAROLINA, 28 gr., N reversed. K-4, Rarity 4. PCGS graded MS-62. Nice prooflike fields on both sides with rich orange-gold toning over luster. The blundered N is one of the more popular varieties of the Bechtler gold coinage, and what's most noticeable on a high grade coin like this is the fact that the N was engraved in the die correctly, then changed! Ah, the fact of entereing letters in a mirror image has to be quite a challenge, as evidenced here. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are attractive. Scarce this nice and downright rare any finer. Pop 6; 3 finer, 1 in 63, 2 in 64. (PCGS # 10055) Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000
