Description
Lovely MS64 ★ 1873 Closed 3 Gold Dollar
1873 G$1 Closed 3 MS64 ★ NGC. The elusive nature of the Closed 3 1873 gold dollar, as discussed by Garrett and Guth: "The 1873, Close [sic] 3 is a very scarce coin in all grades and is, in fact, one of the rarest Type 3 gold dollars. Many coins of this date are deeply prooflike and are difficult to tell from true Proofs." This example is less confusing than many, for while the yellow-gold obverse is strongly mirrored, the reverse has more swirling luster. Well-defined with a clean appearance that leads to the strong eye appeal indicated by the NGC Star. That service has certified just three numerically finer pieces (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DA, PCGS# 7574, Greysheet# 8036)
