1873 Open 3 Cent, MS66 Red
Tied for Finest Certified

1873 1C Open 3 MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. 1873 cents, regardless of whether they represent the Closed 3 or Open 3 variety, are difficult to find with full red color, and are virtually impossible to find nicer than the present coin, which is tied with seven other pieces for the distinction of being the finest 1873 Open 3 cent certified by both major grading services. Upon examining this coin, it is easy to see why it bears such a distinction. The detail is as crisp as one is likely to find on any Indian Head cent, with every feather in the headdress showing complete detail. The wreath, lettering, and shield are boldly set out from the fields. Bronze-red in color, with mint frost pervading the surfaces, a few marks are mostly visible under magnification separating this coin from an even finer grade. Housed in a green label PCGS holder.
