Description

1873 1C Open 3 MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh Collection. The relatively low mintage for the 1873 issue is divided into Closed 3, Open 3, and Doubled LIBERTY varieties. While the Open 3 is not rare in lower grades, only a tiny fraction of the survivors can match the reddish-copper and golden-copper color and exquisite surfaces of this original and immaculately preserved lustrous Gem. Well struck with immense eye appeal. For pedigree purposes, an opaque toning spot is seen within the O of ONE. Population at both services combined: 5 in 66, none are finer (3/09).
