Not Sold Description
1873 Closed 3 AU 50 Cleaned. One of the scarcest coins in the series and certainly one of the most underpublicized. Of 1,800 business strikes minted, perhaps 75-85 examples survive in all grades. Unlike some Open and Closed varieties from this year, there is no mistaking which this one is. In fact, without close examination one would think this to be an 1878--the very reason the Open 3 coins were produced. A bit bright from cleaning, but the surfaces show much deep orange-gold color with a few prominent marks. The most obvious ones are scattered in the obverse fields with several shallow scratches that resemble adjustment marks through the date on the reverse.
