Description

1873-S Double Eagle, MS63+
Closed 3, Conditionally Rare

1873-S $20 Closed 3 MS63+ NGC. Small S. The logotype of the 3 was changed at Philadelphia on several denominations early in 1873, so that it less resembled an 8 at arm's length. The new dies made at Philadelphia took considerable time to reach distant San Francisco. As a result, the 1873-S Closed 3 is more available than its Open 3 successor. Both are rare in Select Mint State, as usual for the Type Two design. This lustrous honey-gold representative is nicely struck and without any individually mentionable marks. Census: 3 in 63 (1 in 63+), 1 finer (9/19).(Registry values: N7079)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
