Favored Open 3 1873 Double Eagle, MS62

1873 $20 Open 3 MS62 PCGS. Bowers conjectures in his Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins that the Open 3 dies may have been made by alteration of the Closed 3 dies, as "topologically the two logotypes are similar except for this feature." The Open 3 is the most common of the Type One varieties, those with TWENTY D. as the denomination. Mint State examples exist, but they are usually found around MS60 or MS61. This charming piece offers green-gold, highly lustrous surfaces with a decent strike, minimal abrasions, and good eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
