Counterfeit Bechtler Gold $2.50. Kagin-CFT-4 (K-11). 22 C, Georgia Gold. Copper. Overstruck on 1828 13 Stars Half Cent. Host Coin Fine. Rarity-8, Unique.
Even golden tan throughout. T of CARATS boldly reengraved to the north. From dies similar to K-11 but without any punctuation. The host coin was probably taken right from pocket change on the day of the die trial. This historic link to America’s first gold rush can only reside in one cabinet; it has no peers or similar likenesses to our knowledge. You’ll only have one opportunity to play or pass on an example of K-CTF-4, and that opportunity is here and now. Don’t let it slip away.

Obverse: BECHTLER RUTHERF around, 250 at center; on obverse of host coin.
Reverse: GEORGIA GOLD CARATS around, 64G / 22 at center; on reverse of host coin.

Die Alignment: Nearly as host coin.

Ex: From the Allen Collection.
