Losbeschreibung

Beautiful golden-rose surfaces are fully lustrous with a bold satin texture to the finish. The strike detail is razor sharp to full throughout, the surfaces remarkably well composed for the issue.<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 II. This is still a conditionally challenging issue, however, the vast majority of examples confined to the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range. A lovely survivor at the MS-63+ level, the offered coin is a delight to behold and would do nicely in either a high grade type set or advanced gold cabinet.
