1873 Open 3 Three Cent Nickel, MS65+
Only One Numerically Finer at PCGS

1873 3CN Open 3 MS65+ PCGS. The 1873 Open 3 three cent nickel had more than twice the mintage of its Closed 3 counterpart (783,000 to 390,000 pieces), but is nonetheless equally as rare (if not more so) in Gem grades. This examples displays frosty silver-gray luster, with faint hints of ice-blue and pale gold seen when turned in-hand. The wreath is somewhat softly struck, though the preservation is seemingly perfect. Population: 25 in 65 (1 in 65+), 1 finer (4/14).(Registry values: N1793)
