Description

1873 Open 3 PR 65 Red and Brown. A choice example of this scarce, proof-only issue. The color is an original red and tan, with most of the original red still remaining. No hairlines are noted on either side, and only one or two microscopic carbon spots are noted on the reverse. Only 500 Open 3 proofs were struck, but it is interesting to note that the PCGS Population Report shows that this variety is much scarcer than the Closed 3, much more so than the comparative mintages would indicate.
