Description

1873 $5 Closed 3 MS62 NGC. The 1873 Closed 3 variety is often thought to be scarcer than its Open 3 counterpart, but the population data indicates about an equal rarity. This, however, could be skewed by resubmissions. Pale gold patina coats the satiny surfaces of this attractive piece. The reverse is sharply defined, but the obverse shows some weakness on the hair above Liberty's forehead. Numerous trivial abrasions are consistent with the grade.(Registry values: P3)
