1873 $5 Closed 3 MS63 PCGS. More than 100,000 half eag
<B>1873 $5 Closed 3 MS63 PCGS.</B></I> More than 100,000 half eagles were minted in 1873, including both the Close 3 and Open 3 varieties. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) write that: "The Close 3 variety is thought to be the rarer of the two." The Select example that we offer in this lot displays lustrous peach-gold surfaces with generally well defined motifs, though we mention an area of weakness in the upper shield. A few minute marks consistent with the grade level are visible on both sides. Light peripheral die cracks occur on both obverse and reverse.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
