Description

1873-S Double Eagle, MS62+
Closed 3, Few Known Finer

1873-S $20 Closed 3 MS62+ PCGS. CAC. Struck prior to receipt of new Open 3 dies, 1873 Closed 3 double eagles circulated heavily in the West and few pieces were preserved in collector hands. Although the Open 3 twenties are rarer, Mint State Closed 3 examples are scarce-to-rare, and seldom exceed the MS62 grade. This frosted, orange-gold example is Plus-graded with CAC endorsement. Mint luster glows throughout the sharply struck surfaces, and only light bagmarks are seen with a loupe. Well under a dozen pieces exist in finer grades at both services combined. Population: 8 in 62+, 3 finer. CAC: 16 in 62, 0 finer (10/19).(Registry values: N4719)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
