Condition Scarcity 1873 Open 3 MS63 Twenty

1873 $20 Open 3 MS63 PCGS. The Open 3 variety is rarer than its Close 3 counterpart. This Type Two double eagle issue is considered a common date in the context of this short-lived design type. However, in MS63 grade it is an important condition scarcity as the PCGS population data shows. Both sides have soft, frosty luster with brilliant yellow-gold color and just a few minor surface and rim marks. The design elements are well brought up. PCGS has seen only five coins finer, and NGC two better.(Registry values: N4719)
