Lot 1777
Christopher Bechtler, $2.50 GEORGIA, 64 gr. 22 carats. PCGS graded Genuine. Our grade is Sharpness of Mint State 60+, burnished and cleaned.
Among the most widely respected territorial mints in U.S. history, the Bechtler operation produced coins for nearly 20 years. A relatively large total of $2 million worth of coins were delivered, and, when assayed by the United States Mint, were found to be of the proper weight and fineness. An attractive survivor from the sixth series of Bechtler production, this originally preserved and lustrous golden-brown private Quarter Eagle has only one relevant mark, a diagonal pinscratch beneath the 5 in the denomination. The dies are rotated 90 degrees, the obverse displays three radial die cracks (PCGS # 10073) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
