  (1842-50). NGC. MS-63. A. Bechtler $1.

  $8,750.00

  Carolina Gold. 27G, 21C, Plain Edge. Christopher and Augustus Bechtler minted gold coinage in Rutherford County, NC from 1831 to 1852. Rutherford County and other areas of the Piedmont region of North Carolina and Georgia were primary sources of gold until the Califonia gold rush. This example is boldly struck with semi proof-like surfaces and deep reddish-gold luster. Exceptionally flashy with fantastic eye appeal.

  1849. PCGS. AU-55. Moffat $5.

  $12,000.00

  Similar in design to the regular $5 Liberty except Moffat & Co appears on the coronet instead of LIBERTY and the reverse has the legend S.M.V. California Gold replacing UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This nearly mint state example of this relatively crude coin has nice detail and plenty of light yellow-gold luster remaining.

  1850. PCGS. MS-61. Moffat $5.

  $20,950.00

  Moffat & Co. of San Francisco struck rectangular gold ingots and gold coins. They produced $5 pieces in 1849 and 1850 and $10 pieces in 1849. The words MOFFAT & CO appear on Liberty's coronet instead of LIBERTY as seen on regular U.S. Mint issues. This is one of the few mint state survivors of their coinage. It is well struck except for just a touch of softness over the ear and has bright lustrous surfaces.
