Splendid MS63 1873 Open 3 Twenty Dollar

1873 $20 Open 3 MS63 PCGS. The 1873 Open 3 double eagle is among the most available of the P-mint Type Two issues overall, but like all of the type, Mint State examples are rare. This is a simply splendid Select Mint State example, with a full strike on both sides and attractive orange-gold coloration. A few scattered abrasions are undistracting but seem to have precluded an even finer grade. The eye appeal is excellent, nonetheless. This specimen would make a superb acquisition for a high-grade type set. NGC has certified only two coins in finer grades, while PCGS has seen five finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
