Description
1873 Gold Dollar, Open 3 Variety, MS63. This 1873 Gold Dollar represents a notable entry in the Type I gold dollar series, distinguished by the Open 3 variety in the date. The Open 3 designation refers to the distinctive spacing in the numeral 3, a characteristic that appeals to variety collectors and die study enthusiasts. Housed in an NGC holder graded MS63, this piece exhibits the luster and eye appeal expected of a Mint State example. The 1873 gold dollar was struck during a significant period in American coinage, preceding the Coinage Act of 1873 which would reshape the nation's monetary system. Gold dollars of this vintage, particularly in Mint State grades, remain desirable to collectors pursuing complete type sets or date runs of this popular denomination.
