The Kagin-7 pairs a late state of the reverse die seen on the Kagin-6 quarter eagle with a new obverse die. Although this obverse die was made using the same punch set as the earlier Bechtler quarter eagle dies, some of the punches show evidence of wear, and others have been reworked. The layout of this die is the same as the Kagin-14 beaded border $5, suggesting that Bechtler hoped to issue a visually consistent product.
The Kagin-7 obverse die failed relatively quickly, as evidenced by a large, diagonal die crack that starts at 7:00 on the obverse and continues across the die towards the “0” of “2 50.” For many years, the only quarter eagle of this variety known to numismatists was the Jenks/Nygren/Walton/ Lilly-specimen, now impounded at the Smithsonian Institution. A second example — discovered on a charm bracelet in 1981 — is the only Kagin-7 available to collectors.
Obverse: 2 50. 20.C. NORTH CAROLINA GOLD. (encircled by 85 beads)
Reverse: RUTHERFORD C.BECHTLER , ASSAYER, (encircled by 57 beads)

About CDN Prices
All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.
The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
