1873 $1 Gold Indian. Open 3. PCGS graded MS-64. A nice example. There is a lovely interplay between yellow-gold and hint of reddish colors that give this the eye appeal of an even higher grade. Coins of 1873 were made with Closed 3 in the date and Open 3 in the date. A quick glance at the 1873 Closed 3 date, made early in the year, resembled "1878," as the knobs on the 3 were close together. The Open 3 was created by filing away most of the bottom knob on the 3 of the date logotype and trimming the knob to a smaller size; dies punched with this modified date logotype are called Open 3 making this the more affordable choice for a collector who needs the 1873 issue. Pop 134; 30 in 65; 9 in 66; 1 in 68. (PCGS # 7573) .
Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.
