- Condition Rarity 1873 Open 3 Double Eagle
1873 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Open 3. MS-64 (PCGS).
An extraordinary Type II Liberty Head double eagle irrespective of date or issuing mint. Dressed in full mint luster, both sides are enhanced by vivid color in lovely rose-gold. The strike is sharp to full throughout, the surfaces exceptionally smooth for both the type and issue.
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 survivor at the MS-64 level, the offered coin from the Fairmont Collection's JBR Set is a delight to behold and would do nicely in either a high grade type set or advanced gold cabinet.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
PCGS Population: 25; with a single MS-65+ finer.
PCGS# 8967. NGC ID: 26AH.
