1873 $20 Liberty. Open 3. With pinkish orange patina on the devices and a fair number but not too many small contact abrasions that typify the grade. Lustrous, this is a popular Type 2 design, a coin that is much scarcer than the more heavily produced Type 3 issues of 1877-1907.
The change in the digit punch style this year was due to a complaint made by Chief Coiner A.L. Snowden early in the year that the 3 in the digit punch for this and all other series looked too much like an 8. The new "Open 3" digit punches were immediately prepared and used for the remainder of the coinage this year. While more common that the "Closed 3" style, the Open 3 is very difficult to find in frosty mint condition. (#8967)
