1873 G$1 OPEN 3, MS

Description

1873 Gold Dollar, Open 3 Variety, MS-63 NGC. This 1873 Gold Dollar represents an important variety from the Type III gold dollar series, distinguished by the Open 3 mintmark characteristic. The Gold Dollar denomination, though modest in face value, remains highly sought by collectors for its historical significance and the variety of design types produced during its 25-year mintage period. The MS-63 grade from NGC indicates a coin with attractive mint luster and only light surface marks consistent with circulation handling or original bag storage. At this grade level, the coin displays the eye appeal and technical quality that appeals to both type collectors and variety specialists. The Open 3 variety is a notable distinction within the 1873 production year, making this piece of particular interest to those pursuing comprehensive date and variety collections. The 1870s Gold Dollars are increasingly difficult to locate in higher grades, as many examples from this era have been melted, lost to time, or remain in lower circulated states. This certified example offers collectors a solid opportunity to acquire a pre-1933 gold coin with documented authenticity and grade assurance. NGC Certification Number: 449775006
