<B>1873 $20 Open 3 MS63 PCGS.</B></I> The Open 3 is the more common of the two 1873 varieties. The obverse die shows minor doubling, particularly on LIBERTY. Bright and lustrous with clean surfaces and plenty of eye appeal. This is a decently struck coin, despite partial weakness on four or five of the obverse stars. It shows flashy yellow-gold color throughout and excellent surfaces for the assigned grade. According to Garrett and Guth: "In Mint State this issue is scarce, as are all Type 2 double eagles. Most are in grades of MS-60 to MS-61. Choice examples are actually quite rare and seldom available. Just a few examples are known above MS-63. A PCGS MS-63 coin sold in May 2005 for $9,200." Population: 95 in 63, 5 finer (11/06).<BR><I>From The Freedom Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
