Description
1873 Gold Dollar, MS66
Closed 3 Rarity
1873 G$1 Closed 3 MS66 NGC. Only 1,800 gold dollars were
minted early in 1873 before the Mint changed to the Open 3 date
style in response to a public outcry that the Closed 3 seen on this
piece and on examples of all other coinage denominations resembled
an 8, and indeed it does. This Premium Gem is one of just six
examples at this grade level with none finer. Both sides show
excellent design definition with frosty light yellow devices atop
reflective fields, resulting in light cameo contrast. The obverse
exhibits light clash marks while the reverse was lapped to remove
clash marks from that side. Census: 5 in 66, 0 finer
(6/23).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25DA, PCGS# 7574, Greysheet# 8036)
Weight: 1.67 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
