Auction 384 | Lot 4618 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1873 $5 Open 3 MS65 PCGS. Ex: HW Bass Jr Collection. Light apricot-gold in color, this lovely Gem has full mint bloom, and minor luster grazes are localized to the left obverse field. A hint of striking incompletness on the curls near the ear and on the eagle's neck and claws are usual for the type. The stars, wings, and other design elements are intricately struck. A small triangular strike-thru (as made) is noted in the field beneath the left end of the motto scroll. A better date within the Motto Half Eagle series, the 1873 is nonetheless obtainable in AU grades. Basal Mint State examples are scarce, and the issue becomes a significant conditional rarity at or above the MS63 level. Population: 3 in 65, 0 finer (8/05).
Ex: Superior, 2/73, lot 489; Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, Part Two (Bowers and Merena, 10/99), lot 1186. (PCGS# 8328)

1873 $5 Open 3 MS64 PCGS. Satiny with a refreshingly smooth portrait and strong definition for this often substandard issue. The 1873 Open 3 is an issue that is not particularly difficult to locate in XF and AU condition, but the supply of Uncirculated pieces dwindles rapidly to the point where Choice and better survivors probably number fewer than 12 coins. Population: 5 in 64, 3 finer (12/06). (PCGS# 8328)

Auction 267 | Lot 7813 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1873 $5 Open 3 MS64 PCGS. Scarcer than its Closed 3 counterpart, the 1873 Open 3 is a difficult coin to locate in the finer Mint State grades. The combined mintage for this P-mint delivery is 112,505 coins, and the present near-Gem is one of only four MS64 Open 3 examples known to NGC and PCGS. There are five coins certified finer, all of which grade MS65 or MS66 (5/01). This is a stunning example with Choice quality surfaces that are a few wispy bagmarks away from an even higher grade. The surfaces are satiny in texture with glowing fields and a generous overlay of yellow-gold color. A few of the highpoints are not fully brought up, but the exquisite eye appeal does not suffer from this feature.

1873 $5 Open 3 MS64 PCGS. This mildly prooflike near-Gem has well preserved fields, although the cheek has a trio of faint luster grazes. The eagle's neck and the hair curls below BER in LIBERTY are typically struck, but the stars and the eagle's wings are needle-sharp. A surprisingly scarce issue in all grades, the majority of survivors are in XF or AU condition, and better Mint State pieces are rare. Population: 7 in 64, 2 finer (2/04). (PCGS# 8328)

1873 $5 Open 3 MS64 PCGS. The scarcer of the two date variants for 1873 but not an especially difficult coin to locate in XF-AU condition. However, mint state coins peak at the MS62 level and the availability rapidly drops off in higher grades. Only five pieces have been certified as MS64 by PCGS with a mere three pieces finer (5/05). This is a sharply struck coin that has smooth, reddish tinted mint luster and no obvious or distracting blemishes on either side. (PCGS# 8328)

1873 $5 Open 3 MS63 PCGS. The Open 3 variant was struck between November 19 and 29, 1873. These pieces are slightly scarcer overall than their Closed 3 counterpart, and they are notably lacking in the better grades of Mint State. Only nine other pieces have been so graded by PCGS with eight finer (4/07). The obverse of this coin is fully struck, while the reverse shows slight softness on the eagle's neck. The bright, lustrous, yellow-gold surfaces are lightly marked on the obverse. (PCGS# 8328)

Very challenging in MS63 and better condition, only four other pieces have been so graded by PCGS with five others finer (1/03). The surfaces show even, satiny luster and minimal abrasions. Well struck overall except on the neck of the eagle, as always. (PCGS# 8328)

1873 $5 Open 3 MS63 NGC. Brilliant and lustrous. A handsome example of the variety, and an important condition rarity this beautifully preserved. Most design features are sharp save for some tresses of hair above Liberty's forehead and the plumage on the eagle's neck, which shows a touch of striking softness as made. The 1873 Open 3 is scarce in all grades, and is typically only available in the VF to XF grade range. Specimens grading as fine as AU are very rare and Uncirculated survivors are among the most important numismatic delicacies of the 19th century; indeed, David Akers was only able to account for appearances of Uncirculated examples in fewer than 2% of the major auctions sales he surveyed when writing his book on the topic of half eagle rarities back in 1979.
