<B>(1842-52) G$1 A. Bechtler Dollar, 27G. 21C. AU50 PCGS.</B></I> Plain Edge. K-24, R.3. The Bechtler gold dollars, produced starting in 1831, were the first circulating gold dollars in the United States, antedating the U.S. Mint by 18 years. This piece shows lustrous green-gold surfaces with a slight bend in the planchet, as made. There are few relevant abrasions. A small die crack joins the second E with the rim, the R, and the star, but there is no trace of the crack at the first E that Kagin mentions. Listed on page 346 of the 2007 <I>Guide Book.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
