Description

1873-S Closed 3 Twenty, MS62
Outstanding Mint Luster, Rare Any Finer

1873-S $20 Closed 3 MS62 NGC. Small S. Numerous light abrasions dot the surfaces of this sharp, lustrous double eagle, although the outstanding mint bloom trumps the miscellaneous marks in terms of positive eye appeal. Both the Closed 3 and Open 3 varieties of this date are equally desirable despite the Open 3 being slightly less available. The S mintmark on this coin is positioned further right than other examples we have seen. PCGS and NGC combined have certified just five numerically finer coins. NGC Census: 26 in 62, 2 finer (10/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26AK, PCGS# 8969, Greysheet# 9918)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
