1873 Open 3 Three Cent Nickel, MS65
Seldom Seen in Finer Grades

1873 3CN Open 3 MS65 PCGS. CAC. This CAC-approved Gem features the Open 3 variety, which replaced the Closed 3 variant partway through the year. The former variety claims a mintage of 390,000 coins -- just over half the number of Closed 3 examples struck. Each side shows swirling luster and well-struck devices, though mild incompleteness is noted through LIBERTY. The eye appeal is strong. Population: 39 in 65 (2 in 65+), 2 finer (10/14).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22NR, PCGS# 3740, GSID# 2776)
