    Description

    (1842-50) A. Bechtler Gold Coin PCGS MS-62 27 Grains, 21 Carat, Plain Edge
    27 Grains, 21 Carat, Plain Edge. A 12 year old boy, Conrad Reed, discovered a large 17 pound gold nugget while playing near his family's North Carolina farm in 1799. The "rock" was used as a door stop for several years until the family found out that this rock was indeed a gold nugget. The country's first gold rush was on! The Piedmont region of North Carolina and Georgia were the primary source of gold in this country until the California gold rush of 1848. From 1831 to 1852 the Bechtlers of Rutherford County, NC operated mints. August Bechtler struck one dollar coins from 1842 to 1850. This is a beautiful high-grade example of his work. The detail is bold and the surfaces display bright mint luster. The reverse is rotated as is frequently the case on these coins.
