1873 Open 3. PCGS MS-62 (green label). 1873 Open 3. PCGS MS-62 (green label).
Lot Title: 1873 Open 3. PCGS MS-62 (green label).
Description: While not as scarce as its "closed 3" counterpart, the 1873 "open 3" carries a strong premium over the common bullion dates in UNC grades, and MS-62 is positioned right at the point where value really escalates. The obverse appears somewhat chippy as expected of MS-62, while the reverse seems to be a little better preserved. Neither side displays any spots or stains to detract. (PCGS# 008967)
Low Estimate: $2,800.00

1193The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$1,600.00
1873 Open 3. PCGS AU-58.
Strong luster revolves through the fields, and makes a particularly strong appearance on the reverse. Little actual wear is apparent on either side, but there is a veritable swarm of tiny ticks and...
1194The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$2,900.00
1873 Open 3 and 1904. PCGS MS-60 (both green label).
MS-60 is a grade that is severely underutilized by the grading services, but applies to both of these common Saints. 1873 "open 3" displays quite a few abrasions as expected, while the 1904 seems...
925The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,400.00
1873 Open 3. NGC AU-58.
Open 3 is by far the more common of the two logotypes, and this makes sense since the mint realized how much the "closed 3" resembled an "8", and addressed the problem very early into production of...
926The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,300.00
1873 Open 3. PCGS AU-58.
The more common "open 3" in the date. Limited patina visits the design elements, but the surfaces are considerably abraded. In fact, this might technically be an uncirculated coin that simply saw...
874The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,400.00
1873 Open 3. NGC MS-61.
Surfaces are consistently abraded, but extensively so, yielding a somewhat "matte" appearance to the general appearance. Fortunately, there is not one single large blemish of note, and despite the...
828The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$1,600.00
1873 Open 3. PCGS MS-61.
The more common of two Redbook varieties for the date. Typically abraded with a rim tick on the far right side of the obverse.
829The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$1,500.00
1873 Open 3. NGC MS-61.
Valuation differs little between "open 3" and "closed 3" in all circulated grades, becoming an important factor only at the mint-state level. This is a legitimately uncirculated example of the more...
1037The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,700.00
1873 Open 3. PCGS MS-61.
Pale mint luster is moderately diminished by the abraded quality of the surfaces, particularly on the reverse. Housed in a PCGS green label holder.
1098The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$2,200.00
1873 Open 3. NGC MS-62.
Warm patina suffuses this entire coin with mellow gold color that helps diminish the effect of myriad micro abrasions. Though not quite fully struck, each obverse star is completely detailed. The...
1143The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,900.00
1873 Open 3. NGC MS-62.
This specimen's velvety surfaces emanate a warm, golden glow. The perceived light sprinkling of contact ticks define the grade, yet this is an attractive coin. The "Open 3" variety is the more...
1037The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$2,300.00
1873 Open 3. NGC MS-62.
This issue gleams with an impressive yellow-orange glow. The observed contact marks are rather sparse for this grade level. A handsome issue that has sharp distinct details.
440The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$1,800.00
1873 Open 3. MS-61+.
A glistening specimen with a yellow-gold aspect. Some scattered marks are perceived, which are characteristic for this ascribed grade level. It is a handsomely struck double eagle specimen from a...
1192The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$825.00
1873 Open 3. NGC MS-60.
Nicely struck with its lustrous surfaces manifesting a warm yellow-gold aspect. The contact marks observed are congruent with this grade level, and none are obtrusive.
