Undated (1834-1840) C. Bechtler $2.50 Gold. Kagin-11. Rarity-5+. 64.G., 22 Uneven. MS-62 NGC. CAC.
This satiny and lustrous gold quarter eagle deserves the accolades it has received from CAC. Modestly prooflike in a bold light source, the unmarred fields and devices provide soft and unbroken luster throughout. Warm sunset orange and powder blue frost glimmers on the obverse while the reverse is a study in rich electric blue and pale crimson in the protected areas. No finer example of this variety has been seen by NGC or PCGS. Of the 5 coins certified as MS-62 this is the only with a CAC sticker.

The obverse exhibits die cracks from the rim at 9, 10, and 12 o’clock as on K-10, while the reverse of this specimen exhibits earmarks of its own. A die crack from the rim at 6 o’clock travels upward through the upright of the R above, then upward through the 2 above it to the numeral 4. Another crack forms a small cud at the rim and then downward through the A in GEORGIA; a natural lamination occurs adjacent to this letter as well. While interesting to study in detail, to do that at your leisure you must be the successful bidder for this Mint State classic.

Obverse: BECHTLER. RUTHERF: around, 2.50. at center.
Reverse: GEORGIA GOLD. arcing around, 64.G. at upper center, 22. beneath, CARATS beneath at bottom of rim.
Die Alignment: about 45 degrees.

PCGS Population: 2; (both in MS-62).
NGC Census: 3; none finer.
