- 1873 Indian Cent. Open 3. MS-65 RD (PCGS). Aglow with bright mint orange color, this lovely Gem also possesses sharp striking detail and uncommonly well preserved surfaces. A prominent die chip on Liberty's neck is noted. Rick Snow (2014) estimates that 9,000,000 of the 11,676,500 circulation strike cents produced in 1873 are of the Open 3 variety, making it more plentiful than its Close 3 counterpart in numismatic circles. Even so, this issue is scarce by the standards of the type, most examples redeemed and melted without seeing active circulation pursuant to the terms of the Mint Act of 1871. This is a particularly fortunate survivor whose premium Gem-quality surfaces place it among the finest certified available to today's discerning Indian cent collectors. Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection. PCGS Population: 32; 22 finer in this category (MS-66+ RD finest). PCGS# 2108. NGC ID: 227Y. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
