Description

1873 Closed 3 Two and a Half, MS65+
Attractive Eye Appeal

1873 $2 1/2 Closed 3 MS65+ NGC. The 1873 Closed 3 Quarter Eagle is considerably more scarce than the Open 3 variety of the same year, especially in high grades. This lovely specimen is yellow gold with orange overtones for an attractive appearance. A light contact mark on the chin of the portrait is noted for accuracy, although the overall surface quality is excellent. Intense frosty luster radiates throughout the fields and devices of this charming coin. Fully struck with crisp device definition. NGC Census: 14 in 65 (4 in 65+), 2 finer (3/26).(Registry values: P2)
