1873 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Open 3. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC.This is a remarkably well preserved and smooth-looking example of the otherwise relatively plentiful 1873 Open 3 double eagle. Vivid rose-gold surfaces are bathed in frosty mint luster. Minimally abraded, as befits the impressive grade from PCGS, with a sharp strike and strong eye appeal.<p>With 1,500 to 2,500 or more examples extant, the 1873 Open 3 is one of the most readily obtainable issues of its design type in Mint State. Many of the Uncirculated pieces were repatriated from foreign bank hoards in the decades following World War Two. This is still a conditionally challenging issue, however, the vast majority of examples confined to the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range. Among the finest known to PCGS, the coin offered here is a delight to behold and would serve as a highlight in an advanced type or date set.PCGS Population: 10; 12 finer (MS-65+ finest).From the Fairmont Collection.
