- 1873 Gold Dollar. Close 3. MS-64 (NGC).
The predominantly khaki-gold finish of this near-Gem is accented by faint splashes of lemon-yellow color across the high points. The luster is soft and satiny, remaining impressively undisturbed throughout the fields. Uniformly bold, but showing a trivial softness at the date that is typical of the issue. A pleasing specimen from a circulation strike mintage for the variety of 1,800 pieces, as noted in the Guide Book. Breen's Encyclopedia (1988)gives the same mintage figure and may be the source of what is probably an estimated production number. Regardless of the actual quantity minted, the Close 3 variety of this date is considered a rare delicacy among gold dollar specialists, first numismatically published in 1927 (not years later by Harry X. Bousell, per conventional wisdom). Perhaps just 150 examples remain in all grades and the present piece is surely among the finest from this extant population, as just 3 have been certified finer by NGC.
NGC Census: 9; 3 finer.
PCGS# 7574. NGC ID: 25DA.
