Description

1873 1C Closed 3 MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Tom Bender. The 1873 Indian cent is more often seen with the Open 3 logotype than the Closed 3. Closed 3 coins are scarce in full Red, and such pieces are rare at the Premium Gem grade level. PCGS and NGC combined list only a dozen Red coins in this numeric grade, with a single PCGS coin finer. This piece displays a sharp strike and satiny copper-red luster, with hints of gold and amber. A few tiny pepper specks are not discernible to the unaided eye. No mentionable marks are seen. Population: 9 in 66 (2 in 66+) Red, 1 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 0 finer (11/22).
