Description
Exceptional 1873 Open 3 Nickel, MS66
1873 5C Open 3 MS66 PCGS. CAC. This is a fabulous Premium Gem Open 3 Shield nickel. Both sides are awash in bright luster and display untoned surfaces that have been well cared for. A powerful strike emboldens the design elements, including complete separation in the horizontal and vertical lines of the shield and in the star radials. David Bowers (2006) writes of the 1873 that: " ... choice and gem mint state coins are very elusive. When located, the problems of striking and eye appeal arise. In short, finding a nice specimen ... will be a challenge." As we have seen, the current example does not fit the profile alluded to by Bowers. Population: 6 in 66, 0 finer (3/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N2998)
