1873 Open 3 Half Eagle, MS64
Partial Contrast, Strong Strike

1873 $5 Open 3 MS64 PCGS. The Open 3 and Closed 3 half eagles of 1873 were struck in essentially equal quantities. Availability (or unavailability at certain levels) is also the same, with both proving rare in near-Gem condition. This piece features razor-sharp obverse detail and just a hint of incompleteness on the eagle's breast feathers. Yellow-gold surfaces display a trace of frost on the devices and partial semireflectivity in the fields. Population: 10 in 64 (2 in 64+), 3 finer (8/21).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WJ, PCGS# 8328, Greysheet# 8919)
