Description
1873 Closed 3 Cent, PR66 Red Cameo
Tied for Finest at PCGS
1873 1C Closed 3 PR66 Red Cameo PCGS. Snow-PR1. Closed 3.
The 1,100-piece proof mintage in 1873 paired a Closed 3 obverse
with the 1872 proof reverse die featuring the unusual bulging right
pennant on the T in CENT. The proof 1873 Closed 3 is one of several
issues in the Indian Cent series with added date pressure due to
the general unavailability of high grade business strikes. This
Premium Gem Red Cameo example displays reflective fields and an
overlay of brick-red and violet colors, with fire-orange hues
beneath. Die polishing merges the first feather's base into the
field. This Red Cameo is one of three certified by PCGS, with none
finer (9/25).(Registry values: P3)From The LaLonde Family Collection.
