1873 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Open 3. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC.A fully frosted rose-gold example whose sharply defined, nearly Choice-quality surfaces would make a lovely addition to a Mint State type set. 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. A premium quality MS-62+, the coin offered here is a delight to behold and worthy of the strongest bids.From the Fairmont Collection.
