- 1873 Indian Cent. Close 3. MS-65 RB (PCGS).
A beautiful upper end Gem Mint Sate coin, both sides are sharply struck and have a smooth, lustrous appearance on both sides. Plenty of vivid rose-orange color remains, and the surfaces are attractively toned in iridescent steel and glossy-brown. The mintage of 11,676,500 pieces for the circulation strike 1873 is divided between Close 3 and Open 3 examples. The former were struck from dies prepared before Chief Coiner Archibald Lowden Snowden's letter of January 18, 1873, to Mint Director Henry R. Linderman in which the chief coiner asserted that the close 3 date logotype was easily mistaken for 1878. Although no official record exists on the exact number of each variety produced, the 1873 Close 3 is scarcer and has an estimated mintage of 2,500,000 pieces (per Q. David Bowers, 2006 and Rick Snow, 2014). Premium quality Gems such as this are in the distinct minority among survivors and represent a significant find when offered.
