RYK nailed all 3 coins. Several others did quite well also. The prize is, if I ever decide to GIVE AWAY the coins, he gets first pick. 
The Pikes Peak piece is PCGS AU55 (Old green holder, not that it matters). I bought these 3 from Regulated because they had such nice original colors and surfaces (also becasue they made a nice "type set" for a guy who likes Territorials but has no intention of completing a collection of them).
The pictures don't do them justice. Never rely on a pic when you buy a coin - you gotta see it in person.

Please give me ample notice because it will take me some time to decide which I like best. As a southern gold half eagle collector, I probably would pick the Bechtler, but the Pike's Peak $10 is uber-cool.
Regulated, if you come across a twin to #1 or #2, please PM me.
Terrific coins, one and all.
Let's see you have Carolina, California, and Colorado represented in the type set. You are not done with your type set. I would say Oregon, Georgia (Templeton Reid) and Utah (Mormon gold) should be on your want list.
BTW - my favorite of the three pieces was undoubtedly the Moffat $10 - it was absolutely stunning in hand.

Regulated already has my want list in that regard.
