Description
Dazzling MS66 Closed 3
1873 Three Cent Nickel
1873 3CN Closed 3 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bruce Scher
Collection. Unlike the 1873 logotypes on the cent and double eagle,
one can use the naked eye to distinguish between the Open 3 and
Closed 3 subtypes of the Three Cent nickel. The Closed 3 is similar
to an 8 when viewed without magnification, hence the complaint by
the Chief Coiner on January 18 to led to a change of the logotype.
Since the modification was early in the year, the Closed 3 is the
scarcer subtype for business strikes. This sharply struck piece has
battleship-gray color and vibrant cartwheel luster. The surfaces
are unabraded, although faint clash marks (as produced) are noted
on each side. Population: 8 in 67, 0 finer (2/09).Ex: Bruce Scher Collection (Heritage, 2/2005), lot 4009, which realized $6,468.75.(Registry values: N2998)
