1873 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Open 3. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC.Lustrous and frosty rose-orange surfaces are temptingly close to Choice Mint State quality. Sharply struck and supremely attractive. 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 basal MS-62 grade range. The coin offered here is a delight to behold and would serve as a highlight in an advanced type or date set.From the Fairmont Collection.
