I like crusty looking gold and these fit the bill. Not a fan of dipped gold. Both courtesy of Regulated at Kagin's. :+1:

Quick cell phone pics - both have preserved luster and are better than AU53/55 which is what our host graded them.

    Nice gold! I thought that the images were going to be for the "Good for one Scent" tokens, from the OP title.

    Great original coins...but the color from these early coins is probably more likely to the other alloys in the gold than their storage...note that the A. Bechtler half eagle is 20 carat...which means it is only 83.3% pure gold...

    Anyone ever re-submit gold territorials? I have no idea how to grade these coins. The lettering is very crisp on that C. Bechtler...personally I wouldn't be surprised to see it in an UNC holder...

    I love both of those coins - they exemplify what Bechtlers SHOULD look like: undipped, deeply toned, and dripping with real luster. I grade the C Bechtler MS61 and the A Bechtler Au55-58, but coins that are this original can be challenging...
