Lot Title: 1873 "Closed 3" and 1883 PF-65RB.
Description: Identically graded PF-65 RB, both the Indian cents in this lot are spectacular gems. The 1873 "closed 3" is graded by PCGS and has clearer surface quality, but the 1883 graded by NGC has nicer color despite a scattering of minor carbon spots. Two coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $750.00
High Estimate: $875.00

1873 and 1908, PCGS PF-64RB (green label) CAC.
Encapsulation in green-label PCGS holders affirms that the surface color has remained stable for this pair of Indian head cents for many years, and they are identically certified as grading PF-64 RB. ...
462The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$425.00
1873 "open 3" PCGS MS-64RB.
That PCGS can sometimes grade small-cents very conservatively is not in question, and this seems to be a textbook case of an undergraded coin. By every measure, including delightful mint luster,...
219The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$550.00
1873 'Open 3" and 1875 Indian Head cents, PCGS MS-64 RB.
Virtually a fully brown reverse is paired with a 50% red obverse for the 1873, and it delivers about 90% of the diamond detail on the ribbon. At hand's length, the obverse appears to be an easy "gem",...
