Description
1873 Open 3 Nickel Three Cent, MS65+
Seldom Found This Well-Preserved
1873 3CN Open 3 MS65+ PCGS. CAC. Well-preserved, satiny
surfaces yield warm golden-gray toning on each side of this Gem
Open 3 example. Several wreath leaves are slightly soft around the
outer edges, but the remainder of the relief elements are
well-defined. The Open 3 nickel three cent piece had about twice
the mintage as did its Closed 3 counterpart (783,000 pieces versus
390,000 pieces), but it is remarkably similar in Mint State rarity.
In Gem and finer grades, the Open 3 variant is actually slightly
scarcer than the Closed 3, and it is conditionally rare at this
level of preservation.Purchased from Pinnacle Rarities (8/2008): Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part III (Heritage, 5/2015), lot 98116.(Registry values: N1793)
