Lot 3648
Christopher Bechtler, $2.50 GEORGIA, 64 gr. 22 carats. NCS graded Details of AU-50. Scratched and improperly cleaned. Lightly toned with semi reflective fields. All C. Bechtler gold pieces are scarce to rare, but the ones most often encountered are the gold dollars (a plentiful issue). The $2.50 pieces, on the other hand, were minted in low numbers and many were later turned in to be recoined into Federal gold pieces. All told, the Bechtlers minted only three denominations, but they covered a wide variety of weights and sizes. Christopher Bechtler, the founder of the company, operated his mint in Rutherford County, North Carolina. The mint produced gold from locally mined sources from 1830 until 1852. Red book value in AU is 16,000. Very rare (PCGS # 10073) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
