Description

1873 1C Open 3 MS66 Red NGC. Struck in the latter part of the year, the Open 3 is the more available of the two date variants. Snow estimates that of the 11.6 million 1873 cents minted, 9.0 million were of the Open 3 variety. This is a remarkable Condition Census 1873 Open 3 cent, with excellent sharpness throughout and splendid orange-gold surfaces that display blushes of rose patina across the center of the obverse. We have only offered four examples (including this piece in 2003) in the past 16 years at auction.
