David Akers (1975/88)

The 1873 Closed 3 is much more rare than generally believed, particularly in high grade. The Closed 3 variety can be distinguished from the Open 3 variety in that the knobs on the ends of the 3 on the Closed 3 are of approximately the same size and so close together that on first glance the 3 looks like and 8. On the Open 3, the top knob is smaller and more oval and further away from the rounder bottom knob.
